We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone with the launch of Respelling suggestions powered by Oxford Languages within Studio.
We collaborated with Oxford Languages, the world's leading dictionary publisher, to enhance our AI voices and improve their accuracy in pronouncing respelled words consistently.
Despite the great success users have had with the Respelling feature, we recognize the challenge of manually typing respelled words. Respelled words are easier to read than to write, after all. Excitingly, we've introduced enhancements to make Respellings even more user-friendly.
With Respelling suggestions, you can enjoy effortless pronunciation improvement of over 251,000 words (some with multiple variations) in British and American English, making pronunciations of the majority of industry-specific, uncommon, and complex words and terminology a breeze.
Say farewell to crafting your own Respelling replacements —we’ve got a suggestion for it!
