The announcer reads names as they are spelled. For a name it gets wrong, type how it sounds in Said as. Drivers can also send their own Said as from their phone, and you approve it on the Online Sign-ups tab.
Before you start
- A driver on the roster.
Step by step
- 1
Open the driver form
Said as is on both the New Driver and Edit Driver forms.
- 2
Type how it sounds
Use plain spelling with hyphens between syllables. Leave it blank and the announcer reads the name as written.
- 3
Hear it
As written plays the plain spelling so you can compare. In a race plays a short call like a real heat would.
- 4
Save
From now on the announcer, Race Monitor and the TV voice use this pronunciation for this driver.
Tips
- Spell it the way it sounds, with hyphens between syllables: "Win" for Nguyen, "Shaw-nah" for Siobhan.
- Press In a race to hear it in a real race call before you save.
- A driver's own pronunciation request shows on Drivers, Online Sign-ups with a Pronunciation badge.
Troubleshooting
- It still says the name wrong.
- Try splitting it into more syllables or swapping letters for sounds. Different voices say things a little differently, so test with the voice you race with.
