If the auto-narrator mispronounces a word, you can create your own pronunciation for it to read. You can also find pronunciations for words that are spelled the same, but pronounced differently.
Pronunciation check
In the Audiobook text editor, under “Pronunciation check,” you can review words that require pronunciation edits. To play through all the word categories or review by category, click on All categories. If you click the Play button by a specific word, it plays all occurrences of that word in the book. If the pronunciation is edited, a word indicates it.
Available categories
- Edits to pronunciations
- Person names
- Organizations
- Location names
