Most of the time, your iPhone’s content sounds more convenient to you to speak of. Especially when you are relaxing on your sofa or sunbathing in your garden. While the iPhone has always achieved its goal when it comes to reading content correctly, it cannot pronounce certain words/names correctly. This is where the flexibility to add custom pronunciations on iOS comes in. If you haven’t tried this super useful iOS Accessibility feature yet, let me help you add your own pronunciations correctly on iPhone and iPad!
Add Custom Pronunciation on iPhone and iPad
While Speak Screen is primarily designed for the visually impaired, anyone can make the most of this helpful feature to get their iPhone or iPad to read the content. Personally, I use it when my eyes seem to want a well-earned rest.
As for how you can add custom pronunciations on iPhone, everything is done directly from the Settings app – without the need for any third-party tools or apps. What’s more, it doesn’t even require you to run the latest iteration of iOS. This means you can create custom pronunciations even on older iOS versions like 13 or 12. With all that said, let’s start with quick steps!
- Start Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap now. Accessibility choice.
3. Next, tap on it. verbal content and then select Pronunciation.

Note:
- For a more personalized experience, you can choose the language you want to pronounce your word and you can also hear a specific sound when the specific phrase is spoken.
- Specifically, you can turn on the Ignore Cases button to enable the toggle to pronounce the word the way you prefer, regardless of capitalization. You also have the option to apply changes between apps.
That is all! Going forward, each time you use Speak Selection or Speak Screen (swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen to hear the contents of the screen.), your iOS device will pronounce the inserted word or phrase exactly as you set it. .
If you want to remove this particular word, go to the same Pronunciation setting and tap on the Edit button. After that, tap the red button and hit Delete.
