Hearing Words

The Talking Children’s Dictionary can pro-
nounce the words that appear on almost any
screen–in definitions, handwriting examples,
spelling correction lists, your word list,
confusables, games, menus, prompts, and
even help messages. Just press the green
SPEAK key whenever you want to hear words.

To adjust the volume, turn the volume control
wheel on the side of the dictionary. You can
plug headphones into the headphone jack on
the other side to listen by yourself.

Try this example.

word not in this dictionary, a “boing” sounds.
