As heart pointed out, not everyone is going to know how to use the pronunciation dictionary in their synth, unless they read, and understand the synth manual. Whereas if this is done with speakup, then setting up a pronunciation dictionary would be the same, no matter the synth being used. You do have a good point though, relying on the synth's own pronunciation dictionary would make things less tricky, as far as speakup development goes. To address something else Chris pointed out, yes, not hearing space be pronounced when you read the screen character by character would be annoying, to me at least. You could set the synth's punctuation to full/total when the screen review keys to read char by char are being used, but that would open a whole new can of worms.
