Spanish language pronunciation
# support
b
I am using the 11labs API to get my assistant to speak in Spanish, but it makes a lot of pronunciation errors. It's almost like some parts are read as if it was English (such as the ll, h, g, qu sounds). But when I checked out 11labs online, the pronunciation had none of these errors. Why is that? How might I fix this, besides manually telling the assistant how to pronounce every relevant Spanish sound?

@bubbleTao I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing pronunciation issues with the Spanish language on your assistant. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as incorrect language settings, a mismatch between the language of the text and the language setting of the voice API, or possibly a technical issue with the integration of the 11labs API. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially fix the pronunciation errors: 1. **Check Language Settings**: Ensure that the language is set to Spanish in your API request. The language parameter should be correctly set to a Spanish language code (like "es" for Spanish). 2. **API Configuration**: Verify that the voice selected is one that is optimized for Spanish pronunciation. Some APIs offer multiple voices per language, some of which may handle pronunciation better than others. 3. **Text Formatting**: Make sure that the text being sent to the API is properly formatted and encoded in UTF-8 to preserve special characters and accents that are crucial for correct pronunciation in Spanish. 4. **API Version**: Check if you are using the same version of the API as the one used in the online demo where you noticed no errors. Sometimes, different versions can have different capabilities or bugs. 5. **Contact Support**: If none of the above solutions work, it might be helpful to contact 11labs support directly. They might be aware of specific issues or have additional troubleshooting steps. 6. **Update Integration**: If there have been updates or patches to the 11labs API that address these issues, make sure your integration is using the latest version. If you've already tried these steps without success, I can assist you further by gathering more information about your current setup and configuration. Could you provide more details about how you're integrating the API and the settings you're using?
