Using TTS to fill in for missing dictation audio
 The invention provides a method for a speech application to read dictated text back to the user. As playback of dictated audio runs, the application searches ahead for words unassociated with the dictated audio. When the application encounters words unassociated with the dictated audio, the application sends the words to a Text-To-Speech engine to synthesize a spoken instance of each word. This method enhance the user's review of the effectiveness of the dictated text by providing an opportunity for the user to hear the entire document played back both the text that was dictated and the text that was typed.
