This is a sequence of screenshots to demo changing pronunciation:
- VAR1.jpg: Open epub in @Voice Aloud Reader. Select word to have pronunciation changed by long-press which pops up the mini context menu bar.
- VAR2.jpg: Select the rightmost vertical-3-dot icon and select "Edit speech".
- VAR3.jpg: The selected word appears in the "Pattern" box and you type your chosen phonetic string in the "Replace" box, using the speaker icon until it sounds acceptable. From the top "Type" drop-down you can select 'Case Sensitive', 'Case Insensitive' or 'Regular Expression'.
Under the [TEST] button you see your selected word within its original sentence to give some context.
- VAR4.jpg: The [TEST] button's drop-down lets you select 'Original', 'Replacement' or 'All replacements'. I chose 'All replacements' because there are also 2 more words (Khairan, Aljais) in that sentence where I had already changed the pronunciation. So now there are 3 words in the sentence where the original word is replaced with it's new phonetic sound. (Don't worry, the book's eyeball-reading text remains unchanged!).
Toggle between 'Original' and 'All replacements' using the speaker icon to compare before & after pronunciation. [SAVE] button when happy.
- VAR5.jpg: The latest word replacement appears at the end of the list and can be selected/edited at any time.
Disclaimer: I have no idea how "Ammar ibn Khairan of Aljais" is supposed to be pronounced, I used it merely for illustrative purposes. The Ivona Amy voice I use may have had it correct without me needing to change anything.
A general comment on user interface, I don't think @VAR will win any designer award for beauty and style, but I have found it fairly straightforward to find what I need to get the job done. Then again, I am an old IT person (
function beats style 
).
