What is the Phoneme feature?
The Phoneme feature allows you to customize the pronunciation of words that the AI does not read correctly. This feature provides detailed options for adjusting syllables, stress, vowels, and consonants to achieve accurate pronunciation.
How to use
1. Select the Word to Customize
Highlight the word you want to customize the pronunciation for. A toolbar will appear above or near the word.
2. Access the Phoneme feature
From the toolbar, select the Phoneme option. This will open a modal containing various customization options.
3. Customize the Pronunciation and save to Pronunciation Library
You can search the pronunciation of words with the Cambridge Online Dictionary (https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/), a reliable source to find for IPA that you need.
In the modal, you will find options for Syllables, Stress, Vowels, and Consonants. Adjust these settings to achieve the correct pronunciation:
Syllables: Break down the word into its constituent syllables.
Stress: Indicate which syllables should be stressed.
Vowels: Choose the correct vowel sounds.
Consonants: Adjust the consonant sounds as needed.

3.3. Save custom Phonemes to Pronunciation Library
If you want to reuse this custom pronunciation in the future, save it to the Pronunciation Library. This allows for easy access and application of the phoneme settings for the same word or similar words.
Follow the instructions in the image below to select a custom pronunciation from the library and apply it to your project.
After applying the pronunciation to the project and you hover the word, you can see the IPA of the word.
