Phonetic alphabets enhance text-to-speech voice pronunciation when used in Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML). To understand the appropriate situations and methods for using these alphabets, refer to the guide on using phonemes for better pronunciation.

The Speech service provides support for International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) suprasegmentals mentioned in this list. In SSML, you can specify ipa as the alphabet.

ipa Symbol Note
ˈ Primary stress Don't use single quote (‘ or ') though they look similar.
ˌ Secondary stress Don't use comma (,) though it looks similar.
. Syllable boundary
ː Long Don't use colon (: or ：) though they look similar.
‿ Linking

In certain locales, the Speech service uses custom phonetic alphabets that generally correspond to the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The eight locales compatible with the Microsoft Speech API (SAPI or sapi) are en-US, fr-FR, de-DE, es-ES, ja-JP, zh-CN, zh-HK, and zh-TW. For these locales, you can select either sapi or ipa as the alphabet in SSML.

Refer to the sections in this article for locale-specific phonemes.

Map X-SAMPA to IPA

When using X-SAMPA phone symbols ' and ", it’s important to avoid conflicts with the wrapper symbol. If the X-SAMPA string contains phone ', we recommend using phone _j instead. If you don’t want to replace the phone ', you need to use double quotes " as a wrapper. Similarly, if the X-SAMPA string contains phone ", then double quotes shouldn't be used as a wrapper, and you must use the single quote ' as a wrapper. Otherwise, it will cause an error.

The table below shows a mapping relationship between X-SAMPA (Extended Speech Assessment Methods Phonetic Alphabet) and IPA alphabets. The X-SAMPA symbols are shown at left, with the corresponding IPA symbols to the right.
