- A pronunciation list accepts entries in “word -> pronunciation” form; the page notes that Apple’s Siri and Personal Voice voices aren’t available to web apps.
Field notes
The speak screen uses Return to speak and Shift+Return to insert a line break; quick buttons can hold frequently used phrases, with blank entries hidden. A pronunciation list accepts one word and preferred pronunciation per line, separated by -> or →. The page also walks users through installing system voices on iOS and Android, and notes that Apple’s Siri and Personal Voice voices are unavailable to web apps.
