12.152 emacspeak-pronounce

This module implements user customizable pronunciation dictionaries for emacspeak. Custom pronunciations can be defined per file, per directory and/or per major mode. Emacspeak maintains a persistent user dictionary upon request and loads these in new emacspeak sessions. This module implements the user interface to the custom dictionary as well as providing the internal API used by the rest of emacspeak in using the dictionary.

12.152.1 Algorithm:

The persistent dictionary is a hash table where the hash keys are filenames, directory names, or major-mode names. The hash values are association lists defining the dictionary. Users of this module can retrieve a dictionary made up of all applicable association lists for a given file.
