Text-to-Speech Pronunciation
- 7 months ago
Thanks, all. I wasn't able to get it there with either of these suggestions, but I spelled it Huann, which resulted in a pronunciation of who-wan, and then I just trimmed off the first part. Mission accomplished, even if it took a few detours!
PLEASE HELP!
Matilda is my Go-To but I am having a heck of a time trying to get her to say "executor" as in the executor of a will. I have tried SSML
<speak>
<phoneme alphabet="ipa" ph="ɛɡˈzɛkjʊtɚ">executor</phoneme>
</speak> (This is ignored altogether and silence is inserted.)
and
<speak>
<emphasis level="strong">exECutor</emphasis>
</speak> (here she says egzecuTOR with an asian accent.)
as well as numerous phonetical spellings but she just ignores them.
interestingly, I tried Aria, Emily, Elli, Jessica, Sarah, Rachel and several others, all pronounce it properly. just Matilda who I am using on a very big project and the client loves her.
HOW DO I FIX THIS???
Hi RobSkeet,
Thanks for reaching out about this!
What about spelling it as exectcuter? Here's my test. Others in the community may have some different ideas!
