  Special words contains entries which may include digits or other non-alphabetic symbols, or entries that require translations with annotations, SPRs, or other non-alphabetic symbols.
  Roots contains the root form of a word only.  This allows other forms such as plurals to use the customized pronunciation.
  Abbreviations contains entries that may include periods.  

3	Click Edit.
4	Click Add to add a new term to the dictionary.
5	Type the new dictionary term in the Key field.  Examples 
6	Type, into the Translation field, the way you want the word pronounced.  Examples 
7	Click Speak to the right of the Translation field.    
8	If the translation sounds correct, go to step 9.  If the translation still sounds incorrect, continue modifying the spelling and testing how it sounds.  If using ordinary spelling isn't working, switch to a phonetic alphabet form by clicking SPR From Translation.  Then change the letters, numbers and symbols in the SPR until the word is pronounced correctly.
