Create Pronunciation Dictionaries

POST https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/studio/projects//pronunciation-dictionaries Content-Type: application/json

Create a set of pronunciation dictionaries acting on a project. This will automatically mark text within this project as requiring reconverting where the new dictionary would apply or the old one no longer does.

Reference: https://elevenlabs.io/docs/api-reference/studio/create-pronunciation-dictionaries

  • https://api.elevenlabs.io (Production, default)
  • https://api.us.elevenlabs.io (Production US)
  • https://api.eu.residency.elevenlabs.io (Production EU)
  • https://api.in.residency.elevenlabs.io (Production India)
  • https://api.sg.residency.elevenlabs.io (Production Singapore)
  • project_id (string, required) — The ID of the project to be used. You can use the List projects endpoint to list all the available projects.

This endpoint expects a Body_Create_Pronunciation_Dictionaries_v1_studio_projects__project_id__pronunciation_dictionaries_post.

  • pronunciation_dictionary_locators (list of PronunciationDictionaryVersionLocatorDBModel, required) — A list of pronunciation dictionary locators (pronunciation_dictionary_id, version_id) encoded as a list of JSON strings for pronunciation dictionaries to be applied to the text. A list of json encoded strings is required as adding projects may occur through formData as opposed to jsonBody. To specify multiple dictionaries use multiple --form lines in your curl, such as --form 'pronunciation_dictionary_locators="{"pronunciation_dictionary_id":"Vmd4Zor6fplcA7WrINey","version_id":"hRPaxjlTdR7wFMhV4w0b"}"' --form 'pronunciation_dictionary_locators="{"pronunciation_dictionary_id":"JzWtcGQMJ6bnlWwyMo7e","version_id":"lbmwxiLu4q6txYxgdZqn"}"'.
  • invalidate_affected_text (boolean, optional, default: true) — This will automatically mark text in this project for reconversion when the new dictionary applies or the old one no longer does.

Successful Response

  • status (string, required) — The status of the create pronunciation dictionary request. If the request was successful, the status will be 'ok'. Otherwise an error message with status 500 will be returned.

Validation Error

  • detail (list of ValidationError, optional)

PronunciationDictionaryVersionLocatorDBModel

Section titled “PronunciationDictionaryVersionLocatorDBModel”
  • pronunciation_dictionary_id (string, required)
  • version_id (string, required, nullable)
  • loc (list of ValidationErrorLocItems, required)
  • msg (string, required)
  • type (string, required)
