A Note about Text and Speech Markers:
If you are storing a message and enter a phonetically spelled word, also enter the correctly
spelled word and use the Text and Speech Marker tools (page
Error! Bookmark not defined.)
so your device will speak the word correctly and show the correct word on the display, but will
hide the phonetic pronunciation.
