Substituting silence for text
Posted: Thu Oct 31, 2013 10:14 pm
My main use of TA3 is listening to novels I write.
Maybe because I'm getting older, I'm becoming less tolerant of issues which have not previously bothered me. Let me give you an example.
In my finished manuscripts, I separate scenes with ***. I'm finding it increasingly annoying to have TA proclaim "asterisk asterisk asterisk"
Can I insert a control, or edit the pronunciation dictionary to silence *** or other such features?
This is only an issue when I have TA read back the complete novel or short story. When working on the story, I proof on a scene by scene basis, so TA never encounters ***.
When the work is finished, I like to listen to the whole to see how it hangs together.
Any suggestions?
