Thank you, Maria. I hadn't thought of the Roman numeral. But I should have when I noted the I was in upper case. Thanks for the info and suggestions about bookmarks too. I wasn't sure how the bookmarks worked, exactly, as I've never used them in word. I appreciate your suggestion which is a good one.

It's similar to the word "read". In the sentence, "I like to read.", the TTS I am using pronounced the word as "reed", but in the sentence, "I read that book yesterday.", my TTS correctly pronounced that word in the past tense as "red". While this is useful, it can be incorrect at times, such as in your case; another is that the TTS I use with Kurzweil 1000, when it's telling me a file name is located in a certain folder, will say "inches" rather "in" if the file name ends in a number because context seems to indicate that "in" could be an abbreviation for inches when it follows a number. This is a feature of Nuance Vocalizer, and it might be correct in some instances--I don't own a Stream, so I don't have experience with Vocalizer Mobile--but it's something you can't change. RE your second point, you can't use those bookmarks on the PC. What I think that people who validate on devices like Streams or Book Ports do--I'm not speaking for myself, since I don't have either, and I'm not intending to speak for those people, just making a guess, so if I'm wrong, someone don't hesitate to correct me--is to bookmark those erroneous parts of the text on the Stream itself as you're doing, then have a separate copy of that file on their PC in to which they will make the corrections. So, with Stream in hand while in front of PC, I would think they go to a bookmarked position in the copy of the book that resides on the Stream, then on the computer, search for some text with a Find command to find the spot in question in the separate copy of the book which they have present on their PC, edit it, go to the next bookmark on the Stream, use Find again, etc. HTH, Maria To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
