text to speech voices pronouncing words incorrectly
How can I get the text to speech voice to say words correctly. Specifically, I am trying to get it to say "data" correctly.

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!
