# Default Locations for Dictionaries

The location of pronunciation dictionaries is determined by the following:

· On Windows systems, if your text-to-speech engine is a dynamic engine, which uses DLLs, or a static engine, which uses only LIBs, the default locations for the main and user dictionaries are defined as registry entries.

· On Linux systems, the location of the dictionaries is the DICTIONARIES directory, as defined in locations.sh in your installation directory.

· On Tru64 UNIX systems, the location of the dictionaries is given in dtuser.lib.
