Pronunciation Cards

Your words. Your voice rules.

Make technical words sound familiar.

Save the pronunciation once. Preview it with your browser’s installed voices, read selected text with the correction applied, or carry it elsewhere as SSML.

Blank cream index cards lit by amber and cyan lamps on a rain-speckled night-market counter
Portable pronunciation metadata, held like a card you can take anywhere.

One correction, three useful surfaces

From unfamiliar term to reliable reading

Pronunciation Cards does not guess. You stay in control of what the word should sound like.

  1. 01

    Select the term

    Highlight a name or acronym on a normal web page, then open the extension.

  2. 02

    Write the sound

    Add a phonetic alias, optional IPA, and preview it with an installed voice.

  3. 03

    Use the card

    Read a page selection, copy SSML, or export the glossary as JSON.

Try the idea

A card is a small, explicit rule.

This preview uses your browser’s local speech voices. It does not save the sample or send it anywhere.

Honest compatibility

It helps where browsers give it a voice.

Extension preview

Hear the alias with voices already installed in your browser or operating system.

Selected web text

Use the context menu or popup to read a selection with matching aliases applied.

SSML handoff

Copy standards-based SSML. Support for IPA and alias markup varies across reading tools.

Screen-reader dictionaries

The extension cannot override a screen reader’s own speech engine or protected browser pages.

Details that matter

Questions before you install

Does it send the text I select anywhere?

No. Selection processing, glossary matching, and speech preview happen through browser APIs on your device.

Will it fix every screen reader?

No. Browser extensions cannot reliably change the pronunciation dictionary inside independent screen readers. Use the generated SSML in tools that support it.

Can a team share a glossary?

Yes. Export the versioned JSON file and send it through your usual approved channel. Import can merge by term or replace the current glossary.
