- Your reader mispronounces a word. (read more)
You can try to spell the word (Fone-net-tik-lee).
Our readers recognize the sounds that each letter make. We also follow most linguistic rules,
but as we all know, there are always exceptions to the rule.
If there is a mispronounciation, please try to spell the word like it sounds, versus the correct spelling.

- Multiple voices in the same reading. (read more)
The Voice tag allows the application to change the voice of the TTS speaker from the input text.
You can use this feature to change voices, e.g. you might use different voices to speak different sections of an email message or carry on a conversation between two different voices.
Example
<Voice Required="name=maria"> Hola, me llamo Maria</Voice> is pronounced, "Hola, me llamo Maria" using Maria’s Spanish voice.
You can include any number of tags in the input text to change voices and languages. Eg.
<Voice Required="name=nina"> I’m Nina</Voice> <Voice Required="name=maria"> me llamo Maria</Voice> <Voice Required="name=mike"> I’m Mike </Voice>
