Hello, would anyone have suggestions on how to make the voice-to-text feature pronounce abbreviations correctly. Specifically.....
C.I. - Needs to be pronounced as "Sea-Eye"
It's currently being pronounced a "Sea"
P.I. - Needs to be pronounced as "Pea-Eye"
It's currently being pronounced as "Pie".
M.F.I.P.P.A. - Needs to be pronounced as "M-Fipa"
It's currently being pronounced as "Mippa"
P.H.I.P.A. - Needs to be pronounced as "Fipa"
It's currently being pronounced as "Feepa"
Any suggestions on how to resolve these issues will be sincerely appreciate.
Thanks
Ally
You should be able to manually edit the captions to correct the spelling back to the original, under Audio Options.
Have you considered just typing them the way you want them pronounced, as you have done here? I find that phonetic spelling of troublesome words, acronyms, or initialisms is the easiest way to get what you want from text to speech.
Hi Nathan,
Yes, intuitively that was the first thing I did. Unfortunately, it resulted in the Close Captions displaying the incorrect (phonetic) spelling.
You should be able to manually edit the captions to correct the spelling back to the original, under Audio Options.
Thank you so much Nathan, you're brilliant!
Your suggestion re: adjusting the Audio Options worked perfectly.
Really appreciate your help!🙂👍
