Does AI give people a way to correct pronunciation of names and words? If so are people prompted to review and correct the end result? Genuinely curious I have never tried to make something like this but it might be fun if I can use a celebrities voice to read out my dumb blog.

  There's a number of ways to do it. Some of them will let you create a override table that uses the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet).
  In the past, when I used the local KokoroTTS model, I did something a bit more primitive for longer texts where it constantly mispronounced a word: a pre-TTS pass with regex to replace those words with a phonetic-sounding equivalent that worked more consistently (e.g. replacing “Danish” with “Day-nish.”)

My wife listens to a bunch of true crime podcasts and many use the same voice. I've also heard this voice in commercials and Youtube videos that are clearly AI generated.

  It's the NotebookLM podcast generator voices, it just does it for you once you add all the data to NLM.
