Quick Tips to Fix Pronunciation in TTS (text to speech)

If the voice mispronounces a word, you can often fix it by changing how the word is spelled. Think of it as writing the word how it sounds, not how it’s “correctly” spelled.

1. Write the Word How It Sounds

Change the spelling so it matches how you’d say it out loud.

  • Aurelius → Awreyleeus

  • Xavier → Zayveeur

  • BrewHero → BrooHeero

Try to keep it as one word, without spaces or hyphens.


2. Stretch Vowels for Long Sounds

Add extra vowels when you want the sound to be longer.

  • beet → beeeet

  • hero → heeroo

  • prime → praaim


3. Use Simple Letter Swaps

Replace tricky letter combos with simpler ones that match the sound:

  • ph → f → symphony → simfony

  • soft c → s → celsius → selsyus

  • hard c → k → Cortez → Kortez


4. Tweak Consonants for Clarity

Sometimes doubling or changing consonants helps:

  • Gina → Jeena

  • Roger → Rodjer

  • vision → vizhun


5. Try a Few Variants

For tricky names or brands, test 2–4 versions and pick the best sounding one:

  • Aurelius → Awrelius / Awreelyus / Awreyleeus
