Hi,
Beware Alex, if I understood correctly you would override the accessibility string with another strong with something that tricks VoiceOver into pronouncing the word as you intend.
For example: my daughters name is Lilah but VO always pronounces Lyla. I might set a description for such a string as "Lie-la"
If that is what you are suggesting then it might not work as expected between different flavours of a language. For example British English and South African English may pronounce your. Think American English vs British English for words like route and data for example.
To answer the original question I'm not sure how you would provide your own VoiceOver dictionary, it sounds like you should file for an enhancement.

In Voiceover, they don’t read correctly so I’d like to make a dictionary which Voiceover actually uses during the run of my program. Is this something that is supported or is this something I’ll need to make a enhancement request for?
