Speech utilities available now from Microsoft speech team

Robert Brown points to some speech utilities that you'll find useful if you develop speech apps. These utilities were designed for people who are buildilng telephony apps on Microsoft Speech Server, but you might find them useful if you're a SAPI-based desktop developer too.
  • GramStat: a command-line utility that provides statistics for grammar files.
  • Recognizer: good for simple speech reco accuracy diagnosis.
  • SAPIerr: a handy way to quickly look up errors returned by SAPI.
  • GetPron: takes a list of words and outputs their Speech Server pronunciations
These are utilities that our internal developers and testers find useful in their work, and over time we plan to release a lot more.

Are the pronunciations in GetPron from a dictionary, programatically generated, or both? If generation (guessing) is involved, is the rule-set documented? Is it overridable?

I'm looking at an application with hundreds of proper nouns that aren't going to be in anyone's dictionary. What should I read to prepare?
