Having a problem with the AI pronouncing the year wrongly in finnish, how can it be fixed

Hi there! 👋 I understand you're having an issue with the AI mispronouncing years in Finnish. This is definitely something I can help you with! Based on the information I've found, here are several approaches you can try to fix the pronunciation of years in Finnish: 1. Custom Voice Formatters - You can implement custom voice formatters specifically for handling years in Finnish. This approach has worked for other languages like French (transforming "2026" into "deux mille vingt six") and could be adapted for Finnish. [According to this discussion](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1344359573473071245), custom formatters can be added when pronunciation issues are found. 2. Phonetic Spelling - Try spelling out the year phonetically the way it should sound in Finnish. [This is mentioned as an effective technique](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1332426179285880863) for words that are consistently mispronounced. 3. SSML Tags - Enable and use Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) to fine-tune the pronunciation. To enable SSML parsing in Vapi, you'll need to: - Visit the [assistant update API](https://docs.vapi.ai/api-reference/assistants/update-assistant) - Select your voice provider (e.g., 11labs) - Enable

enableSsmlParsing

- Update your assistant 4. Voice Pipeline Configuration - You may need to tweak the voice pipeline configuration to get the desired behavior, as [mentioned in the documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/quickstart/phone/inbound). 5. Chunk Planning - Ensure that

chunkPlan.enabled

is set to

true

for proper sentence boundary detection and improved prosody in non-English languages. You can also adjust parameters like

minCharacters

and

punctuationBoundaries

to tune chunk behavior.

To enhance your pronunciation, consider choosing a Finnish-supported voice from providers like Azure or ElevenLabs. Additionally, formatting the assistant's prompts to specify years clearly can help ensure accurate pronunciation..

it didnt work still, is there anything else to do?

Try phonetic spelling or switch TTS providers.

not working

can you send me the call_id?

one sec

you have to add this to the system prompt: " For refrence: - Current date: {{ "now" | date: "%B %d, %Y", "America/New_York" }} - Current time: {{ "now" | date: "%I:%M %p", "America/New_York" }} - Day of the week: {{ "now" | date: "%A", "America/New_York" }} " then it will know the current time and data, paste this to chatGPT and tell him your exact location to make it better.

Thanks!

you're welcome
