Change default pronunciation of word in text to speech

Hi all,

I work with products that contain technical language, and the text-to-speech frequently mispronounces words.

I can use SSML with the <sub> or <phonme> tags, but it's laborious needing to set this every time the word appears.

Is there a way to set the pronunciation of a word across the product?

    you need the text-to-speech feature "Pronunciation Lexicon"

    storyline text-to-speech is from Amazon Polly, but don't support this lexicons

    you could use some automatic preprocessing*, which does integrate the infos of the lexikon in the audiotext

    * you need for this some programming skills, e.g. in Python
