Thanks for you input again :) If I can find all those Dialog pronouncation and combination... I will try to put it into a single system ( if too big may be a database application ) to provide a Multi-Language Pronouncation tool kit. The hardest part I think it will be where to find that database/dictionary. May be I can write a proposial to Chinese,HongKong, etc government to fund us to build such Dictionary to standardize and allow foreigner to learn to speak their language. Alex
