deactivate text to speech within Kindle Touch .mobi file while reading

Hey there,

Okay, so I'm kind of an amateur at this: is there ANY way, when creating a book file in html for Kindle Touch, to use markup to designate certain text as unreadable or invisible when Text-to-Speech is being used? For example,

This is a sentence.

would be coded as

This is a <hypothetical markup>sentence.</hypothetical markup>

and whatever that markup is would mean that Text-to-Speech would read aloud "This is a" instead of "This is a sentence."

I really appreciate any help I can get here, I keep thinking there has to be a way, but I could just be overly optimistic. Thank you!

Anyone know which lib does the work?

I could dig around with a bit more info on the lib in question.
