Pronunciation Tips
- Use phonetic spellings that mimic how the word sounds.
- Use hyphens (
-) to split syllables or highlight emphasis. - Try several versions if needed, and preview the audio to check which sounds most natural.
- For abbreviations, spell out letters (e.g., F-A-Q) if they’re not being pronounced correctly.
Chinese Pronunciation Issues
For Chinese content, mispronunciations can occur due to multi-pronunciation characters or rare/unrecognized characters.
We recommend using a common character with the same pronunciation to guide the speech engine.
If a character is mispronounced (e.g. due to multiple possible readings), or cannot be pronounced at all (e.g. a rare character), you can substitute it with a more commonly used character that sounds the same. For example:
| Original Character | How to Enter the Pronunciation | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| “行” | “型” | Use to force xíng and avoid háng |
| “殷” | “音” | Use to force the correct yīn pronunciation and avoid errors |
