[MV] Training words

[Joseph Senecal]

I suggest taking whatever phrase it most often recognizes your name as, then try adding your name as a new word with that as the pronunciation. Don't delete any other trained copies of your name, there's no problem having multiple pronunciations for the same word.

I can't promise that will help, but it seems like it's worth a try. 

In the past I was able to get words to work by using a "sounds like" phrase when training alone wasn't enough.

When I try to get DD to recognize my name, even though I have edited and recorded my name in it to teach it, I still get things like "a Nice" and stuff like that, even though I tell it that it is "uh niece" along with my written name in the teaching part. I teach phonology and I know the difference between the long "a" and the shwa! However, DD can't recognize this at all when it comes to my name. So, I may have to resort to some fantabulous Russian or Thai word to make this work for me. Any ideas?
