Special Symbols
Hey,
Is there a way to make symbols like "µ" and things like "nm" (nanometers) work, without having them written out as text?
Hi LeonhardBleicher ,
Custom Speech may be able to let you do that. You would need training text that has the terms like "nm" in it and also provide a pronunciation file that looks something like:
nm<tab>nanometer...
Not 100% sure if that also works for "µ" as it is a special character.

Or if you are talking about Text To Speech you can use SSML to provide the pronunciation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/speech-synthesis-markup?tabs=csharp#use-phonemes-to-improve-pronunciation - HeikoRa
