Hi Toxic Kumquat, thank you so much for your positive review of GhostReader Plus. Perhaps TAGS does this but words that can be pronounced in different ways such as “Live” could highlight themselves and a pull-down correction could be chosen, then applied to selection or whole document. Improvements? I’d like to see a choice/checkbox to read only two letter US-States and not the old three letter method - thus “ill.” is NOT Illinois. Some of Apple’s voices have improved but ALL of the Infovox iVox VOICES (part of AssistiveWare) are amazing and very realistic. The voices you get from ConvenienceWare website (part of your GhostReader ensemble), are excellent.

Even after a clean install, Alex seems to cause lots of trouble with any text-to-speech software (Apple inc - r u reading this?). If you are having trouble with certain OS X versions (my computer is older), DO NOT use the Apple voice ALEX. When I want sophisticated control over a certain voice, the interface and other features allows me to get professional results (with some practice). The word-processor-like layout is easy to use.
