SSML phonetic alphabets

Phonetic alphabets are used with the Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) to improve the pronunciation of text to speech voices. To learn when and how to use each alphabet, see Use phonemes to improve pronunciation.

Speech service supports the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) suprasegmentals that are listed here. You set ipa as the alphabet in SSML.

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

For some locales, Speech service defines its own phonetic alphabets, which ordinarily map to the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The eight locales that support 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 those eight locales, you set sapi or ipa as the alphabet in SSML.

See the sections in this article for the phonemes that are specific to each locale.

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.
