The Pronunciation Dictionary That Makes AI Voices Sound Human
Vois TeamTLDR:Vois includes a pronunciation dictionary that lets you define how specific words are spoken. Add a rule once ('Vois' becomes 'Voyce') and it applies everywhere. Supports global and project-specific scopes, CSV import/export for bulk management, and integrates into the text normalization pipeline automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the pronunciation dictionary work?
You add rules mapping written words to phonetic alternatives. When Vois processes text, it substitutes the written form with your pronunciation before generating audio. Rules apply automatically to all future generations.
Can I import pronunciation rules in bulk?
Yes. Vois supports CSV import and export for pronunciation rules. Create a spreadsheet with two columns (original and replacement), export as CSV, and import the entire vocabulary at once.
Does the pronunciation dictionary work across all projects?
Yes. Rules can be set as global (applying across all projects) or project-specific. Global rules are the most common choice for brand names, acronyms, and frequently used terms.
What kinds of words need pronunciation rules?
Common candidates include brand names, character names in fiction, technical acronyms, medical or legal terminology, foreign words used in English context, and any word the TTS engine consistently mispronounces.
