Abstract
Pronunciation generation may be provided. First, a pronunciation interface may be provided. The pronunciation interface may be configured to display a word and a plurality of alternatives corresponding to a one of a plurality of parts of the word. The plurality of parts may comprise phonemes or syllables of the word. Next, pronunciation data may be received through the pronunciation interface. The pronunciation data may indicate one of the plurality of alternatives. Then a pronunciation of the word may be generated based upon the received pronunciation data. The pronunciation may correspond to the indicated one of the plurality of alternatives. In addition, the pronunciation data may indicate which one of the plurality of parts of the word is stressed. This stress indication may be received in response to a user sliding a user selectable element to indicate which one of the plurality of parts of the word is stressed.
