Limitations

Pronunciation replacement does not work when using the “Ask Digital Person to repeat...” text field in the preview window. Replacement is only done during an conversation.
Enclosing @pronounce in parentheses like (@pronounce()) doesn't get read correctly. The work workaround is to add a space like ( @pronounce() ).

Configurations

Provide the following information in the Pronunciation Skill configuration screen in Digital DNA Studio. See Adding Skills to your Digital Person for detailed instructions:
