I think this would have to be a user customized file the same as the training_english_GB.txt file. For example, the voice I use to speak mispronounces the word Botox. I have to spell it phonetically as "Bow tocks" to say it correctly. This is often a problem with people's names. It would be very helpful if there were a TXT file where I could teach Dasher the correct pronunciation by including ‘Botox="Bow tocks"’.

A related problem that would probably require a different more difficult solution is to specify which way heteronyms (same spelling, different sound) are pronounced. Ex. Tie a bow on the bow of the boat - I will lead the men to the lead mine - If you tear the painting my eyes will tear up - Could you live next to a live concert venue. Dasher will often guess the correct pronunciation but when it doesn't, I am stuck. I don't know how to solve this problem but I thought I would throw it out there.
