Pronunciation Guide FAQ
What is the pronunciation guide?
The pronunciation guide is a workspace list of words and how to say them. When Jellypod generates audio, it swaps each matched word for your pronunciation before the voice reads it, so the script itself stays spelled correctly.
Where do pronunciations apply?
Pronunciations apply to every episode, video, short, and voiceover in your workspace from the moment you add them.
How should I write a phonetic respelling?
Write the word the way it sounds, split into syllables with hyphens and the stressed syllable in capitals: "acai" becomes "ah-sah-EE" and "quinoa" becomes "KEEN-wah".
Can I use IPA (the International Phonetic Alphabet)?
Yes. The pronunciation field takes IPA as well as a plain respelling, so "Nguyen" can be "/wɪn/". Use IPA when a respelling is ambiguous, and preview it to confirm the voice reads it the way you want.
Can I turn off IPA for a rule?
Each rule has a "Generate IPA for improved performance" switch, on by default. Turn it off and every voice reads your spelling instead, even voices that otherwise read IPA.
Which words should I add?
Add guest and host names, brand and product names, acronyms you say as a word (like "SQL" as "sequel"), place names, and technical or medical terms your listeners would notice being said wrong.
