Prn

\Prn=text=pronunciation\

Indicates how to pronounce text by passing the phonetic equivalent to the engine.

· Example: \Prn=tomato=tomaato\

text

Text to pronounce.

pronunciation

Phonetic equivalent for pronouncing the text.

Using the Prn tag without specifying the word pronunciation (\Prn=text\) will undo the changes to the pronunciation; that is, it will return the word to the original pronunciation.

This tag is valid only for engines that support the International Phonetic Alphabet. The engine should continue to use this pronunciation for the current text-to-speech mode and should store the pronunciation in its lexicon for later use. If a lexicon entry already exists for a particular word, the Prn tag should be ignored for that word.
