    Change Pronunciations in Narrator


    Is there a way for customers like me who use screenreaders like Narrator to change the pronunciation of specific words and phrases? The reason why I ask is because whenever I write my family name, "Baradine", it seems to pronounce it as "Bar ah dine", when it's supposed to be pronounced "Bare a deen", to rhyme with "Josephine". Does Narrator have a parameter that supports Symbolic Phonetic Representation SPR?

    Narrator cause mention pop out feature doesn't work correctly

    Hi, currently I have encounter an issue that with Narrator turn on, the website @ mention feature is unable to work correctly.
    This issue also able to reproduce in microsoft team web version (Checking your credentials...), google sheet and etc.

    Step to reproduce:
    1. Open narrator
    2. Open microsoft team in web version
    3. In any group chat, type '@'.

    4. A suggestion list will popup.

    5. Unable to continue key in any text to filter the suggestion list. Narrator will voice 'unavailable' upon key press.

    p/s: It seems like Narrator will auto focus on the popup suggestion list option which have been implemented with aria-selected='true' and cause the input key no longer working.

    Kindly let me know if there is any suggestion or finding on the issue above. Thanks.
