Abstract
A method for text-to-speech (TTS) pronunciation correction includes initiating a correction of a pronunciation error produced by a TTS system; receiving an input from a user for the correction of the pronunciation error; and updating the pronunciation based on the input provided by the user. The user input can include providing one or more voice recording entries, a manual entry from a keyboard, and/or choosing an entry from a predetermined list of phonetic strings. The method can also include pronouncing the corrected pronunciation entry back to the user. The user input can be further used for correction of similar syllables, words, and/or phrases.
