Generate Phonemes using AI and a Dictionary

Pronunciation is a challenge at times, especially when the same word is pronounced differently depending on its "use."

We use a combination of IPA phonemes and basic phonetics (phonics). I use an AI chat to generate the SSML code, then place it in a SharePoint library for when I need it again. The same voice may get it right one time, but not the next, so I never know when I'll need the phoneme. Given that the Articulate voices don't allow emphasis on syllables, this is the best method I've found so far. If anyone has a better way, it would be most appreciated if you would share, thank you!

This is very basic, but it does work when needed. Here is an example of the AI prompt: Please generate the phoneme SSML code for the word "<word>" and use https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary to obtain the phonemes.

Example for "use" as a noun: 

<speak>
<phoneme alphabet="ipa" ph="ˈjuːs">use</phoneme>
</speak>

Example for "use" as a verb: 

<speak>
<phoneme alphabet="ipa" ph="ˈjuːz">use</phoneme>
</speak>
