Overview

The pronunciation skill allows you to set up a list of words or phrases that require specific pronunciations.

This skill is:

  • Built and owned by Soul Machines Ltd.

  • Only supported in English.

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:
