SpeechPartOfSpeech Enum

The SpeechPartOfSpeech enumeration lists the parts-of-speech categories used in SAPI.

This list of known parts-of-speech types is intentionally small and broad and will be expanded and refined in future releases. SpeechPartOfSpeech in its minimal form is required to support look ups from the standard SAPI lexicon. This information is useful to TTS engines in order to determine the correct pronunciation of ambiguous words based on their context.
