Index Number: 15740 [This is from the Blink Talk Conference] > Oh, by the way, Accent always seems to say the word drive instead > of doctor when inputting dr, if you have something for that please > include it. You could turn off the built in abbreviations. At present, it seems that those built in words get priority over any downloaded dictionary. I tried telling the Accent to pronounce D R as DOCTOR and it worked, but only if the built in abbreviations were turned off. I plan to talk with Mike Chang at Aicom Corporation tomorrow. There is a new chip available to upgrade the Accent and I believe that this "dictionary priority" question is addressed in the new hardware. I will report here once I know more. Also, a brief progress report on my program... I did sit down this weekend for several hours and got a good start on my program. The basics are done. The fun, yet challenging code remains. I will get back to it this coming weekend. Oops, no I won't. This weekend is Mother's Day! I'll see what free time I can find in the next week or two. I definitely do not want to put this off too much longer. If I get out of the mood, it will become one of the several projects that are on the "back burner". My hard disk is FULL of such animals. Anyway, I will keep you posted. Thanks for your interest. Jim -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!233!20!Jim.Danley Internet: Jim.Danley@f20.n233.z1.fidonet.org
