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.

    Word “Data”:

    • Type “datuh” for the “dat-uh” pronunciation

     

    Word “REcall” NOUN

    • Type “reek haul”

     

    Word “Use”, NOUN, pronounced yoo-sss

    • Type “yousse”
