The Word lives.

Postby pauliw25 » Fri Feb 06, 2009 3:59 pm

How in textaloud can you get the speech engine to tell the difference between the word "lives" as shown in the below sentences:

1) He lives.
2) Their lives are at stake.

Both words - lives - are spelled the same - but are pronounced quite differently.

I have to go through the text & hand-edit "live" to either:

liv or lyve

which also catches "lives."


Similarly, these two verbs need to be changed:

wind --> wynd
wound --> wow'nd

as TA normally pronounces them as nouns.
