HOMOPHONE SUPPORT
Homophone support is a fundamental element of Read & Write (V8.1).
Many people get confused with like sounding words. Read & Write (V8.1)’s
homophone support reduces confusion between like sounding words with
different meanings. This feature identifies homophones and provides
audible definitions. 1400 of these are listed as standard. The Same
Sounding Words Panel shows the list of words that can be confused and
a definition for each one to help pick the one you want to use.
By identifying and providing audible definitions of homophones Read &
Write (V8.1) ensures you are using the correct word in context.
