In the BeyondWords changelog for July 2022, you'll learn about creating custom text to speech rules with ayliasiz, reviewing audio before distributing with pending review, changing the position of audio ads, adding categories for google podcasts, new languages and voices, and fixes and improvements. Keep listening to learn more about what's new. Create custom text-to-speech rules with ayliuhsiz You can now add custom text to speech rules using ayliasiz. This is helpful for expanding abbreviations. For example, you can decide that M S F T is always pronounced as Microsoft or sen is always pronounced as senator. You can also provide pronunciations for sensational spellings. For example, music publications can ensure the band name spelled C H V R C H E S is correctly read aloud as Churches. Don't want the alias to apply every time? Open the Text-to-Speech Editor to add, edit, or delete ayliasiz in a particular audio. Let's say you're usually happy with it being pronounced NBA but on this occasion you're writing about the National Boxing Association rather than basketball. You can set an audio alias to prevent any ambiguity — and without having to make extensive edits to your text. Want more complex customizations? Submit a request to our team. Review audio before distributing with Pending review Want to review your audio before it's distributed? Our 'Pending review' feature makes it easy. When 'Pending review' is enabled, processed audio goes into an unpublished state by default. This means that you can proof-listen and make any edits before publishing your audio. For more advice, check out the audio publishing workflow ideas on our knowledge base. Change the position of audio ads You can now decide whether your audio ads are played pree roll, mid roll, or post roll. This can help you to boost engagement with your sponsored messages and audio. Just head to the 'Ad positioning' section in project settings to get started.
