Phoneme not working correctly

Hello all,

 

I've tried to get the word Visier to be pronounced correctly in the Text-to-speech in Storyline 360, but something isn't correct. Here's what I'm using 

<speak><prosody rate="80%"> I'm Serena. I want to share with you some other things we administer and support. HRIS is responsible for all enhancements and updates to Employee Central. We maintain the HR contacts and location list found on GlobalNet under Resources. Speaking of SharePoint, we're also the ones who grant people access to the HR SharePoint site. We help with new software implementations like our new Survey tool, People Elements, and our people analytics platform, <phoneme alphabet="ipa" ph="'vɪˈzɪər">Visier</phoneme> </speak>

 

Currently, the narrator stops speaking after the word platform. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Sarah

  • there is missing '</prosody>' between "</phoneme>" and "</speak>"

    <speak>
       <prosody rate="80%">Speaking of SharePoint, ...  platform, 
          <phoneme alphabet="ipa" ph="'vɪˈzɪər">Visier</phoneme>
       </prosody>
    </speak>

    articulate: an error/warning message would be nice, like the original message on aws.amazon.com

    "Warning: The input text contains invalid SSML syntax. Fix the SSML syntax, and then try again."

      Hi! Thank you for answering my question, but it still isn't working. It says, "platform" and then stops.

        your ssml is correct - which voice are you using?

        ssml (with phoneme) only works for the normal voices (Amazon Polly) - not for the ai voices (ElevenLabs)

  • I'm using Matilda's. If it doesn't work with AI voices, then that's disappointing. I guess I'll throw this narration into Azure their AI has no issues pronouncing Visier. Thanks for trying! I appreciate your help.
