How to control pronunciation in Eleven v3 TTS: aliases, phonemes and inline IPA
kastnerkyle · x · 2026-11-11
An official ElevenLabs guide details three ways to control word pronunciation in Eleven v3 TTS: alias rules that replace text (like ruby annotations), phoneme rules using IPA, and inline IPA written directly in the script for one-off fixes. Pronunciation dictionaries help with brand names, acronyms (e.g. AEO as /ˌeɪ.iːˈoʊ/), jargon and multilingual text. Note: SSML phoneme/break tags aren't supported in v3 — use dictionaries or audio tags instead; ElevenAPI allows up to 3 dictionaries per request.
