Abstract
A method for audibly spelling a word in an audio file includes playing an audio file to a user, receiving a command to spell a word in the audio file from the user, identifying a textual word in a text file corresponding to the word, and audibly spelling the textual word. A text-to-speech system includes a memory and a text-to-speech module. The text-to-speech module generates an audio file from a text file, and stores in the memory locations for words in the audio file corresponding to locations of words in the text file.
