Yes, you are correct. In the Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) Pronouncing Dictionary, the word "WAN" is represented as "W AE N". This dictionary uses a specific set of symbols to represent the sounds in American English. Here's a breakdown:

  • "W" represents the 'w' sound as in "we".
  • "AE" represents the 'a' sound as in "cat".
  • "N" represents the 'n' sound as in "no".

So, when these sounds are combined, they form the pronunciation of the word "WAN".

If you're having trouble with pronunciation within Projects, you might want to consider using a Pronunciation Dictionary. This feature allows you to specify the pronunciation of certain words or acronyms. You can upload a lexicon or dictionary file that specifies pairs of words and how they should be pronounced, either using a phonetic alphabet or word substitutions.

To provide a pronunciation dictionary file, open the settings for a project and upload a file in the .PLS format. When a dictionary is added to a project it will automatically recalculate which pieces of the project will need to be re-converted using the new dictionary file and mark these as unconverted.

Here is an example PLS file that specifies the pronunciation of “Apple” with IPA of “ˈæpl̩” and “UN” with an alias of “United Nations”:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<lexicon version="1.0"
       xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/01/pronunciation-lexicon"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2005/01/pronunciation-lexicon
         http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/CR-pronunciation-lexicon-20071212/pls.xsd"
       alphabet="ipa" xml:lang="en-GB">
  <lexeme>
    <grapheme>Apple</grapheme>
    <phoneme>ˈæpl̩</phoneme>
  </lexeme>
  <lexeme>
    <grapheme>UN</grapheme>
    <alias>United Nations</alias>
  </lexeme>
</lexicon>

You can replace "Apple" and "UN" with the word you want to specify the pronunciation for, and replace "ˈæpl̩" and "United Nations" with the desired pronunciation. Please note that searches are case sensitive.
