Hearing Letters Spoken as Words
To clearly distinguish letters, you can hear words
spelled using the “Alpha, Bravo, Charlie” system
rather than the alphabet. Just type a word at the
main prompt, or press the arrow keys to highlight a
word in a reference entry, then hold
SHIFT
and press
SPELL
.
You can also hear words spelled as “Alpha, Bravo,
Charlie” without shifting. Just select the “Speak
letters as words” setting on the speech menu. Then,
simply pressing
SPELL
spells words in that manner.
If the keyboard echo is on, you also hear the letter
keys spoken as words.
1. Type a word at the main prompt.
2. Hold
SHIFT
and press
SPELL
repeatedly.
You hear each letter as “Alpha, Bravo, Charlie.”
3. Press
CLEAR
when you’re done.

Hearing Sounds Spoken
There’s another way to hear words pronounced by
your Language Master
SE—sound by sound. It’s
called the Dynamic Pronunciation Guide (DPG). The
DPG combines synthetic speech, a recorded human
voice, and visual highlighting to teach accurate
pronunciation.
To see and hear the DPG, type a word at the main
prompt or highlight a word in a refence entry, then
hold
SHIFT
and press
SAY
.
1. Type a word at the main prompt.
2. Hold
SHIFT
and press
SAY
.
The DPG screen says and shows a sound.
3. Press
FWD
to hear the next sound.
