Try the pronunciation tool to help eliminate script pronunciation errors!
To help make sure scripts are read and returned with fewer errors, we have a tool for users to create trigger words. These words, when they appear in a request's copy, are accompanied by a phonetic pronunciation in parenthesis.
Attached files that have a File Type that includes "Pronunciation" or "Pronounce" will also be shown to the voice talent on the request.

Details
- vPPO Pronunciation Tool Overview: A tool in vPPO intended to reduce errors in script reading and returns. Managers can access this feature within the maintenance tab under the pronunciations section.
- Adding Pronunciations to the Database: To add a pronunciation, users select the "add new" button to input the word and its corresponding pronunciation. Users must ensure their firm is selected correctly, set the status to "approved," and submit the entry, which adds the word to the existing pronunciation list.
- Triggering Pronunciation in Scripts: When a script containing a designated word is saved—either within a quick order script box or the files tab—the system triggers the pronunciation tool. This process displays the correct spelling next to the word for the voicers to see.
- Adding Audio Pronunciation Files: Users can include audio for pronunciations by using the "add file" option within the production order. By selecting the "pronunciation file" type and uploading the appropriate file, users can attach audio clips to specific words.
- Final Output and Technical Support: Attaching an audio file allows voicers and producers to access both visual and audio references to ensure correct pronunciation.
