Pronunciation Control for AI Voiceover

Pronunciation Control lets users fix how Smartcat's AI voices say brand names, product names, and industry terms without editing the visible subtitle text underneath. When a project opens in the Subtitle Editor, Smartcat automatically scans the text, identifies words that typically need pronunciation guidance — proper names, abbreviations, numbers, special characters, and glossary terms — and applies a suggested pronunciation automatically, highlighting each fix in green.

For anything the automatic pass misses, users can select a word and click Fix Pronunciation, adjust its phonetic transliteration or stress, or record their own reference pronunciation with Say Your Way. Corrections can apply to a single instance, every instance of the term in the file, or be saved to a glossary so they're reused automatically in future projects.
