    Abstract: A voice toolkit (100) and a method (700) for managing pronunciation dictionaries are provided. The visual toolkit can include a user-interface (110) for entering in a text and a corresponding spoken utterance, a text-to-speech system (120) for synthesizing a pronunciation from the text, a talking speech recognizer (132) for generating pronunciations of the spoken utterance, and a voice processor (130) for validating at least one pronunciation. A developer can type a text of a word into the toolkit and listen to the pronunciation to determine whether the pronunciation is acceptable. If the pronunciation is incorrect the developer can speak the word for providing a spoken utterance having a correct pronunciation.
