Pronounciation of the word "Close"

The English language engine pronounces “Save and Close” as if the word “Close” is an adjective (ex. at close range: klōs) and not as a verb (ex. Close the door: klōz). Is there some way to correct this without affecting the text?

Hi Miguel,

 

You can try a different voice, or you can try adjusting the way it is pronounced - it is usually possible to alter it with a bit of finesse :)

 

I manually added close to klose

Hi Morten,

 

Thank you for the reply. Question: If you change it in the way you describe, would it not change the written part of the recording?

Hi Miguel,

 

I am sorry - it looks like the image was removed! - i have re-added it.

 

The process is to change the way a specific voice in the selected project pronounces a certain word, you can try to mess about with the spelling to make it sound the way you want.

 

In my example i actually made it say it like klose  which sounds very “definitive” of close. Try it :)
