Press NVDA+n, p, d, enter to open the default speech dictionary.

Do you use any speech dictionary entries? I've swapped "Meeting" for "Nap" in the attached screenshot (Apologies to the boss for missing that meeting btw, I had, uh, car trouble.... completely unrelated!)

What do you use speech dictionaries to correct?

I use the English US variant, Klatt 6 voice.

I clicked on the in process, went to the Microsoft survey. It said April 16. It said 2021. I took like 5 minutes wondering why the poll isn't active when it's been posted about today. ;(

Also dictionaries are indeed great. I know someone whose control types now have their own human names hahaha.

Absolutely immature and inappropriate... Who am I kidding, I laughed for weeks after I found out.

I have a couple of global entries. Komplete and Kontrol for Native Instruments products, then Coronavirus because of 2020. I've also set up some voice specific ones for different synthesisers.
