You can say the word two different ways. Live, or Live.
As in, "Live animals live at the zoo." (see what I did there?)
So, how do you train Matthew to say it the way you want him to? He's currently telling folks about "Live electrical equipment" but using the short i instead of the long one. Sounds super-goofy!
I don't use it often, but have had some success trying semi-phonetic spellings. For instance in Chery's example, typing out "liive electrical equipment" worked for me.
I'd also recommend using the phonetic spelling to help with this - Matthew and Joanna are great, but they're still robots at heart...or in their code. 🤖
Any way you can help them parse words further using the phonetic spelling is a good first step!
David is the hero of the day! Two i's in "Liive" did the trick.
And yes, I know - any time an apostrophe is used to make a word, acronym, or letter plural, a puppy dies. I have that poster in my cubicle. ...for anyone who caught that.
Moving forward, lots of phonetics! Thanks for that link, Ashley - very helpful!

Following. Joanna would give me troubles on certain words earlier in the year.

I only caught "a puppy dies" and had to read this answer...I clearly don't know that poster.
Glad the linked helped too and keep us posted if you need anything else.
Unfortunately liive does not work for UK TTS. Neither does LAIV. Any suggestions?
Nevermind - liav works for UK TTS. Took forever :)
