Pronunciation Changes from Input and Editing
In VoiSona Talk, when part of a sentence is modified, the pronunciation and accent of the unchanged portions remain as consistent as possible. Therefore, the pronunciation of the same sentence may produce different depending on how it is entered or edited.
Example:
Enter "昨日は雨" into the sentence
① Enter "昨日は晴" into the sentence, change the pronunciation "キノー" to "サクジツ"
② Change "晴" to "雨"
By adding a full-width apostrophe (’) at the end of the reading, you can devoice the vowel.
