phoneticEncoding property

String? phoneticEncoding
getter/setter pair

The phonetic encoding of the phrase. Possible string values are:

  • "PHONETIC_ENCODING_UNSPECIFIED" : Not specified.
  • "PHONETIC_ENCODING_IPA" : IPA, such as apple -> ˈæpəl. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet
  • "PHONETIC_ENCODING_X_SAMPA" : X-SAMPA, such as apple -> "{p@l". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-SAMPA
  • "PHONETIC_ENCODING_JAPANESE_YOMIGANA" : For reading-to-pron conversion to work well, the pronunciation field should only contain Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana. The pronunciation can also contain pitch accents. The start of a pitch phrase is specified with ^ and the down-pitch position is specified with !, for example: phrase:端 pronunciation:^はし phrase:箸 pronunciation:^は!し phrase:橋 pronunciation:^はし! We currently only support the Tokyo dialect, which allows at most one down-pitch per phrase (i.e. at most one ! between ^).
  • "PHONETIC_ENCODING_PINYIN" : Used to specify pronunciations for Mandarin words. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinyin. For example: 朝阳, the pronunciation is "chao2 yang2". The number represents the tone, and there is a space between syllables. Neutral tones are represented by 5, for example 孩子 "hai2 zi5".
