Printing dictionary

Hi. Anybody know a way to print the pronounciation dictionary so I have a written record of which words I have changed pronunciation for?
It sounds like you're looking for a reference page to use? I don't know of a good way in TextAloud 3 to produce a report like this, but there is a decent way to do this in TextAloud 4. TextAloud 4 adds support for exporting pronunciation dictionaries as xml files. So you could do something like this:
In TextAloud 4, export one or more dictionaries.
Open the dictionary xml files in Excel, or some other spreadsheet app that can read xml files.
In Excel, take all the default options on the xml import.
Once the spreadsheet is loaded, delete columns you're not interested in. Most likely you'd want the columns labeled "MatchString" and "PronunciationString", and anything else you might want.
After deleting the columns print the spreadsheet from Excel.
TextAloud 4 is still in beta, see the forum at viewforum.php?f=18 for details and instructions on downloading the latest beta
