[Learning Hub](https://learning.iorad.com/) → [Product News](https://learning.iorad.com/product-news) → Pronunciation Dictionary & Voice Style ## What's New Text-to-speech voices sometimes stumble on product names and acronyms, or come out too quiet or too fast for your audience. Now you can make the adjustment once and have it apply. Teach iorad how to pronounce a word in the new Dictionary, and fine-tune how a voice sounds with Voice Style. 1\. We've expanded our Media settings options. Let's check them out now.

Let's check out our last option - Click **Voice Style.** These voice settings apply only to this tutorial. ![](https://www.iorad.com/api/tutorial/stepScreenshot?tutorial_id=2751578&step_number=13&width=800&height=600&mobile_width=450&mobile_height=400&apply_resize=false&min_zoom=0.5) 14\. Here you can adjust the speed, pitch and volume of the voice and upon newly generated steps audio it will apply.

Choose **Dictionary** to add pronunciations, or **Voice Style** to adjust the voice. Walk through it in the tutorial above. ## What you can do - **Fix mispronounced terms** Add a word or phrase along with its IPA phonetic spelling. You can copy phonetic spellings from dictionary.com or an online phonetic generator. - **Set it once** Words you add go into your account dictionary, so you don't have to correct the same term tutorial after tutorial. - **Preview and edit** Play a word back to check how it sounds, then edit it until it's right. - **Tune the voice** Adjust speed, pitch, and volume for a tutorial, whether a voice reads too quickly or always sounds quiet. ## Good to know - Dictionary and Voice Style are in Beta. Reach out with feedback as we keep improving them. - Both features currently work only with English (US) text-to-speech voices that support SSML. - Voice Style settings apply to the current tutorial only, not your whole account. - Voice Style changes apply to step audio generated after you make them, and only to text-to-speech audio, not pre-recorded media. ![Company Logo](https://learning.iorad.com/hubfs/iorad%20icon.png) #### Support - [Help Center](https://www.iorad.com/resources/help-center) - [Learning Hub](https://learning.iorad.com/) - [Schedule Demo](https://www.iorad.com/demo) - [Releases](https://www.iorad.com/release) - [FAQ](https://www.iorad.com/faq) #### Pricing - [Business](https://www.iorad.com/pricing/business) - [Education](https://www.iorad.com/pricing/education) - [Non-Profit](https://www.iorad.com/pricing/non-profits) #### Company - [About](https://iorad.com/about) - [Leadership](https://www.iorad.com/leadership) - [History](https://www.iorad.com/history) - [Culture](https://www.iorad.com/culture) - [Careers](https://www.iorad.com/careers) #### Explore iorad - [What is iorad](https://www.iorad.com/tutorialbuilder) - [Features](https://www.iorad.com/features) - [Compare iorad](https://www.iorad.com/compare) - [How to use iorad](https://learning.iorad.com/use-cases) - [Testimonials](https://www.iorad.com/testimonials) #### Connect - [Partners](https://www.iorad.com/partner-programs) - [Integrations](https://www.iorad.com/connectIntegrations) - [Helping Hands](https://www.iorad.com/helping-hands) - [Services](https://www.iorad.com/services) - [Adoption Curve](https://learning.iorad.com/the-adoption-curve) #### Fine Print - [Terms of use](https://www.iorad.com/termsconditions) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.iorad.com/privacypolicy) - [Cookie Policy](https://www.iorad.com/cookiepolicy) - [Accessibility](https://www.iorad.com/accessibility) - [System Status](https://status.iorad.com/) © Copyright 2026 – iorad Inc.
