The best I've come up with is splitting entries between the default dictionary and application-specific dictionaries, you can double the number of entries that way. Other than that it's a hard cap.

I can understand why it was a hard cap when jaws was created but computers have so much more memory now it seems silly. And regardless the dictionary manager is very poorly written (as the dictionary grows the manager grows very sluggish).

I ran into this problem a while back. When I wrote VFO about it, I was
informed that it maxes out at 1000 entries.
Sucks if you're a multi-language user

Subject: Any Way To Expand The Size Of The JAWS Dictionary?

Hi, folks.

I use, at various times, JFW 15 and JFW 2018--both fully
authorized--on a Dell notebook running Windows 7. The following might
seem like a picky or unimportant question, but to me it represents an annoyance.

I appear to be running out of room to make new entries in my JAWS
Dictionary Manager. Whenever I attempt adding a new entry--that is,
to teach JAWS how to pronounce a given word--I get an error message
saying the JDiction MFC Application has stopped working due to an
unspecified problem. (I presume the file has reached its size limit.)
I've built up lots of pronunciation entries over the years and would
like to keep adding more. But is there a way to do this? Or am I out
of luck? Right now my dictionary file contains
49.612 kilobytes--seemingly not much by today's standards.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

-Kane
