Synonyms are accessible through Microsoft.Office.Core:

Dim synonym As New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application
        Dim arr As Array
        arr = DirectCast(synonym.SynonymInfo("Yes").SynonymList(DirectCast(synonym.SynonymInfo("Yes").MeaningList, Array).GetValue(1)), Array)

You have to refernce word's COM object.

As for pronunciation, I think you're SOL. Even Microsoft Sam can't do that accurately. If you want though, you can set Microsoft Sam up to read the word to your user... But like I said, he's not very good.
