AI pronunciation of acronyms

Hi all--

Is there a way to teach the AI text to speech voice to pronounce acronyms properly?

My team uses a lot of acronyms and there are specific ways to pronounce them.  One such acronym is IACUC.  it keeps just reading out each letter-- 

I would like it to pronounce this "Eye-uh-cook".

I know I can write it like this in the text-to- speech box, but then the CC will also print it out this way.

Any help is appreciated!!

  • You should be able to edit the generated captions under audio options. Just spell it the way you want it pronounced, and then manually fix the term in the captions.
