text to speech voices pronouncing words incorrectly

Try "dayduh" or some variation of that. 

I've had to create some interesting respellings of words in order to get the correct pronunciations. Just remember to correct the spelling in closed captions!

Hi Susan,

Thanks for reaching out!

I tested this on my end, and spelling data as dayda in the Text-to-Speech window seems to do the trick. If a word isn't pronounced correctly, try spelling it phonetically or adding hyphens between syllables—for example, Articulate vs. Articu-late. Here are some additional tips for controlling pronunciation.

As of December 2023, Storyline 360 also supports speech synthesis markup language (SSML).  This table lists all available SSML tags and their supported voices, including the use of phonetic pronunciation. You may want to check this out!
