Neural Voices - Specific words mispronounced / errors with generated closed captions
I've noticed when implementing additional spacing (I use a paragraph from notes as my narration) that I tend to lose random words or whole sentences in the closed caption. It creates a lot of QA QC ...

Hi Sarah,
I commiserate with: "I tend to lose random words or whole sentences in the closed caption". I had that problem too, extremely time consuming. I found no solution, bar laboriously typing (copy/pasting) the missing words into the captions. In cases of mispronunciation I rewrote the sentences (where possible) if it was taking too long to come up with a phonetic spelling that was pronounced correctly.
I have used a number of neural / AI voice generators that clients had paid quite a bit for, and to date they all have a pronunciation problem and tonal problems. Clients went back to using real people/voice-over artists. Also, AI/neural seem to be averse to short words with two syllables.
For data - dahder or day-ter worked for me.
