Hi dlf-ga:

While there appears to be many, many software products for dyslexics,
only a minority of them are for adult learners, and fewer yet are for
"phoneme awareness training" specifically.

The best match for your question seemed to be the "Lindamood Phoneme
Sequencing Program (Practice CD-ROM)"

http://www.lindamoodbell.com/gander/lipscdrom.htm

This product's website 

http://www.lblp.com/phonemicawareness.html

comes with tons of information, research, and other non-computer
support products. However, the CD-Rom appears to stand on its own
without any of the other products.

There are seemingly dozens of software programs that will help correct
your spelling as you type or read text off your screen for you - but
from the wording of your question, I don't think that's what you are
looking for. However, if you *are* interested, many of these products
can be found at dyslexic.com:

http://www.dyslexic.com/products.php?catid=1

I would be happy to offer any clarification you would like if the LiPS
CD-ROM is not what you were looking for. Just provide me with more
specific details by requesting an answer clarification.

Search Terms Used:
"phoneme awareness" software adults
dyslexia adults
"phenomic awareness training"

Good luck!

If you are interested in purchasing the Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing
Program (Practice CD-Rom), you can call Gander Educational Publishing
at
1-800-554-1819 or 1-800-541-5523

The product costs $99.95 USD (Plus tax and shipping).

I was unable to find any way of ordering just the CD-ROM online.
