      Add, edit, or delete Replacements from your Pronunciation Library

      Studio's Pronunciation Library helps streamline your workflow by managing your Replacements (Respellings and replacement text) all in one place. You can add multiple Replacements for each original text.

      4. In the bottom field, enter your replacement text or Respelling that creates the exact sound you’re looking for, or click the open book icon to apply a Respelling suggestion. In this example, let's use a Respelling to get an accurate and consistent sound. (ehd-ah-MAH-may).
