, 16:19, May 2, 2020→Harmony of the Gospel (Conservative Version) narrative form - Introduction for audio computer Read aloud: example "Capernaum" of audio Read aloud inability to properly read dictionary phonetic signs of pronunciation
Substituting the standard forms of dictionary phonetic spellings of these words with the phonetic characters of their dictionary definitions just doesn't work. At this time commonly available audio computer Read aloud functions are not currently adapted for reading dictionary phonetical spellings with special phonetic characters, and they are not phonetically read right by the computer according to the sounds they are intended to represent. The same goes for any computer Read aloud of any words spelled with the [[IPA|International Phonetic Alphabet]]. It doesn't work.

One example is the name of the village of Capernaum.
(/kəˈpɜːrniəm/ kə-PUR-nee-əm; Hebrew: כְּפַר נַחוּם, Kfar Naḥūm; Arabic: كفر ناحوم, meaning "Nahum's village" in Hebrew).
The audio reading of the phonetic spelling totally bypasses in silence the Hebrew and Arabic spellings and misreads the Anglicized spelling of the Hebrew sound "Kfar" as "Kay far", and in reading aloud the IPA rendering kəˈpɜːrniəm it does not say "Caw purr", it says "kay peer nayum", but the common vocal rendering in most printed dictionary and Bible dictionary texts is "Ca per′ nay um". But even this common dictionary phonetic spelling "Ca per′ nay um" is mispronounced by the Read aloud function and the "c a" is not rendered "Caw" or "Cah" but is spelled out instead, and as a result, here in this audio adaptation of Harmony of the Gospel Conservative Version narrative form, Capernaum had to be rendered "Cap Ernay-um", to correspond to the common way it is said when it's "red" aloud by the ordinary American Bible reader.
