  • 1.  Genesys Enhanced TTS

    Posted 20 days ago

    Hi All,

    In one of our IVRs, one of the main menu options is "Press 6 for Main Roads W A." and the system plays it as "Press 6 for Main Roads West A". Not sure why and the business wants to get this fixed ASAP as customers calling the IVR don't understand what West A means.

    We use Genesys Enhanced TTS for our IVR prompts - FYI

    Hi,
     
    You could try the following options to control how it's pronounced and see if it works.
     
    "Press 6 for Main Roads W. A." → adding periods often forces the engine to read each letter individually
    "Press 6 for Main Roads W A" → keeping a clear space between letters may work depending on the voice
    "Press 6 for Main Roads double-u ay" → spelling it out phonetically if needed

    Another option could be exploring different TTS engines:

    However, from what I understand, SSML support (and more advanced control) is only available in bot flows with certain third-party TTS engines, and not in call flows (IVR) like in your case.

    Hope this helps , happy to hear other ideas from the community.

    Hi Vidhu, 

    I went through this recently (obviously with a different sentence).
     
    The solution I found was to add a colon ( : ).
     
    In your example, it would look like this: "Press 6 for Main Roads W:A"
