Skill Type

 POST PROCESS 


Overview

The pronunciation skill allows you to set up a list of words or phrases that require specific pronunciations.


This skill is:

  • Built and owned by Soul Machines Ltd.
  • Only supported in English.

Limitations

Pronunciation replacement does not work when using the “Ask Digital Person to repeat...” text field in the preview window. Replacement is only done during an conversation.

Enclosing @pronounce in parentheses like (@pronounce()) doesn't get read correctly. The work workaround is to add a space like ( @pronounce() ).


Configurations

Provide the following information in the Pronunciation Skill configuration screen in Digital DNA Studio. See Adding Skills to your Digital Person for detailed instructions:


Field
TypeDescription

Example:
