AI Speaker pronunciation tips

While AI Speakers perform well in most cases, achieving perfect pronunciation can require some finesse and may involve multiple attempts. Areas where you might need to make adjustments include:

  • Names with unique spellings or pronunciations.
  • Pronouncing individual letters for abbreviations or initialisms.
  • Adjusting syllable emphasis for different forms of a word (e.g., noun vs. verb).
  • Modifying the pronunciation of homographs—words that are spelled the same but pronounced differently.

To refine pronunciation:

  1. Modify the word’s spelling in the script. Experiment with phonetic spellings until you achieve the desired pronunciation.
  2. Convert the Speaker clips to audio from the Timeline.
  3. Highlight the section on converted speaker audio in your script.
  4. Use the correction tool to adjust the transcript spelling without affecting the script media.
