That is the slippery slope logical fallacy.
If you do something that works well in moderation or sparingly, you will do it
more until it is destructive rather than constructive. That logical
fallacy implies that people have no sense of logic or proportion. If you
let someone speed to a hospital because their wife is in labor, before you know
it, everyone will speed for any reason and the law won't be enforced.
I didn't say that using the dictionary is as good
as being able to turn the announcement off. It will work in a case where a
word isn't used often and where it can usually be determined or assumed that you
haven't heard it because it is that word. I wasn't talking about using the
dictionary for word after word.

using NVDA? I still don’t like it, however much you try to justify dictionary hacks. Eventually you exclude loads of words, then it becomes more work.

But if, for some reason, you hear a lot of graphics announced and you can't turn off graphic announcements in the settings, you may save yourself a good deal of annoyance. and it isn't much work in general. Think about when the last two or three times were that you heard the word graphic other than in this thread or when your screen-reader announced an actual graphic.

That’s more hard work though, as well as concentrating on the text itself for mistakes, I’d say.

By context a lot of the time. if not, they will know a word is missing because what is being said won't make sense. At that point, you can go back and read the word by letter.

But how would they know the word was missing, if the synth didn’t utter anything?

Yes, it would be skipped. Most people wouldn't come across the word often in documents and they have to remember that they won't hear it. They can read letter by letter at the missing word location to verify that it is that word if they wish.

Hi Jean,
What happens then if you come across the word graphic in a document? Does it just get missed out? That would make it awkward for proofing. I don’t like using dictionaries as a cludge if I’m honest.

If this setting isn't available in preferences, and I am not aware of a do not announce graphics setting, you may be able to stop graphic from being announced using the speech dictionary.
