1 minute read | December 8, 2022
Sometimes, you might like a voice, but want it to be a little faster or slower or have a slightly different pitch. You can adjust some characteristics of the voice in the Speech and Language Options.
Change a word's pronunciation
Your simPODD voice might not know how to say every word correctly. Names of people and places can be especially tricky. You can add a pronunciation exception to tell simPODD exactly how to say a word.
- Go to Options in the toolbar.
- Go to Settings > Pronunciations.
- Next, tap Add Pronunciation to replace an existing pronunciation.
- Enter the Original Text and the Pronunciation.
- You can tap the speaker to listen to how it sounds.
- Tap Pronunciations.
- Tap Done.
