If the AI is pronouncing the phoneme literally instead of interpreting it, here are a few steps you can take:

  1. Ensure You're Using Turbo v2: The phoneme tag is only supported by the Turbo v2 model. If you're using a different model, it will ignore the phoneme tags, which could lead to incorrect pronunciation.

  2. Use CMU Phonemes: If you're already using Turbo v2, ensure that you're using CMU phonemes instead of IPA phonemes, as Turbo v2 works better with CMU phonemes.

  3. Check the Alphabet Format: When uploading a pronunciation dictionary, make sure the alphabet name is correctly formatted. For CMU phonemes, the correct format is alphabet="cmu-arpabet". Using an incorrect format like alphabet="cmu" can cause issues.

  4. Experiment with Alias Tags: If you're not using Turbo v2 or if the issue persists, try using alias tags instead of phoneme tags to specify pronunciation. Alias tags are supported across all models and can help resolve pronunciation issues.

If these steps don't resolve the issue, you may need to experiment with different phonetic spellings or combinations of letters to approximate the desired sound. Let me know if you need further clarification!

The issue seems to be related to the incorrect specification of the alphabet in your pronunciation dictionary file. When using the Turbo v2 model, ensure that the alphabet attribute in your .PLS file is correctly formatted. The correct format for CMU Arpabet is:

alphabet="cmu-arpabet"

If your file currently uses alphabet="x-cmu", you need to replace it with alphabet="cmu-arpabet". Here's an example of a properly formatted .PLS file:

<?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="cmu-arpabet" xml:lang="en-US">
  <lexeme>
    <grapheme>Example</grapheme>
    <phoneme>EH1 G Z AE2 M P AH0 L</phoneme>
  </lexeme>
</lexicon>

Make sure the file is saved with the .PLS extension and uploaded to your project. If the issue persists, double-check the formatting of your file and ensure it adheres to the required structure. If you still encounter problems, feel free to reach out for further assistance.

If the AI is reading out the phoneme syntax instead of applying it, it could indicate an issue with how the phoneme tags or pronunciation dictionary are being implemented. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve this:

  1. Ensure Correct Syntax: Double-check that the SSML phoneme tags are correctly formatted. For example, the syntax should follow the proper structure for the model you're using (e.g., Turbo V2 or English V1). Refer to the guide to Prompting for details on how to use phoneme tags.

  2. Verify Model Compatibility: Make sure you're using a model that supports SSML phoneme tags, such as Turbo V2 or English V1. Other models may not interpret these tags correctly.

  3. Check the Pronunciation Dictionary: If you're using a pronunciation dictionary, ensure that the file is formatted correctly and uses a supported alphabet. The error message "unsupported alphabet specified in lexicon tag x-cmu" suggests that the AI cannot process the specified alphabet. You may need to adjust the lexicon file to use a supported format.

  4. Regenerate Specific Sections: If the issue persists, try using the Projects feature to regenerate only the problematic sections. This can help isolate and resolve the issue without redoing the entire text.

  5. Use a Cloned Voice: If the problem is voice-dependent, consider cloning a voice with the correct accent and pronunciation. This can provide the AI with better context for interpreting phoneme tags.

If these steps don't resolve the issue, you may need to provide more details or reach out to the support team with examples of the text and phoneme tags you're using.

ai agent is saying the word phoneme from the lexicon dictionary

If the AI is pronouncing the word "eme" instead of applying the pronunciation rules from your uploaded pronunciation dictionary, here are a few steps to troubleshoot:

  1. Check the Alphabet in the Lexicon File: Ensure that the alphabet attribute in your .PLS file is set to either ipa (International Phonetic Alphabet) or x-cmu (CMU Arpabet). Note that phoneme rules are only supported by the Turbo v2 English model. If you're using another model, it may not process phoneme tags correctly.

    Example of a valid .PLS file:

    <!--?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>
</lexicon>

  2. Ensure the Correct Model is Selected: Double-check that you are using the Turbo v2 English model, as phoneme rules are only supported by this model. Other models may ignore phoneme tags and could result in unexpected behavior.

  3. Validate the Lexicon File: Make sure your .PLS file is properly formatted and adheres to the required structure. Any errors in the file could cause the AI to misinterpret the content.

  4. Use Aliases if Necessary: If the issue persists, consider using aliases instead of phonemes. Aliases are supported by all models and allow you to specify replacements using other words or phrases. For example:

    <lexeme>
    <grapheme>UN</grapheme>
    <alias>United Nations</alias>
</lexeme>

  5. Re-upload the Dictionary: After making any changes, re-upload the .PLS file to your project settings. The system will automatically recalculate and mark the affected parts of the project as unconverted.

If the issue continues after these steps, it might be helpful to review your .PLS file for errors or contact the support team for further assistance.

@surreal kernel - Were you ever able to figure this out? I'm in the same boat.

I built a pronunciation dictionary and tried it in both XML and PLS formats, and the voice assistant is still reading the phonemes from the dictionary verbatim instead of pronouncing the word correctly.
