Can you post an example sentence that contains the problem you're trying to fix?

The idea would be to use the pronunciation editor, under the TextAloud Tools menu correct the pronunciation.

So for example, if you're hearing a problem with the 's' sound in 'screen', you would display the pronunciation editor window, and create a dictionary entry for the word screen. Set the "Text Matching" dropdown to "Simple Text", and set the "Pronounce Using" dropdown to "Respell". Then see if you are able to find an alternate spelling of the word screen that is pronounced correctly.

Which voice(s) are you having the problem with?
