Q: I am very impressed with the quality of the voices, but do have a question about if/how to adjust the pronunciation of certain words.
For example, in the following sentence, I would like the word "contractor" to be pronounced the same both times [CON-tractor].
"Are you looking for a roofing contractor? We recommend that you shop around for contractors and services before making a final decision."
However, in the output, the second instance is pronounced [conTRACT-or].
I see that there is a tab for editing "Pronunciations", but I haven't found any supporting documentation about how to use it. I submitted a ticket a couple of days ago with this question but haven't received a response yet, but I'm hopeful... :o)
Not sure if I can post a link here or not, but will try. This is the sample recording: https://share.listnr.fm/embed/voiceover/633890d25e7e55001d6f3672/

Yes, we noticed this issue too - upon further investigation we’ve seen that this is happening to a few Google Wavenet voices.
We’re in touch with the team at Google, we’ll let you know once the issue is resolved :)
