Prepare the input
Confirm each pronunciation with the speaker or a trusted source first. Keep one pair per line and use the vertical bar only as the pair separator.

Pronunciation Guide Maker
Turn term-and-pronunciation pairs into a consistent glossary, inline guide, or presenter cue sheet without guessing how names or specialist words should sound. The tool formats user-supplied guidance and performs no phonetic transcription, speech recognition, dictionary lookup, accent judgement, or audio generation.

Product guide
Separate verified pronunciation from visual formatting
People, communities, subject experts, and authoritative dictionaries should provide pronunciations; this workspace only makes those approved notes consistent. Review the complete result in its destination because automated text rules cannot infer every language, house style, data model, or publishing intention.Choose the rule
Glossary mode uses a dash, inline mode uses parentheses, and presenter mode emphasizes the term before a colon. No symbols are reinterpreted.
Review the output
Read the guide aloud and share it with the relevant person before recording or publishing. Plain respelling can still be interpreted differently by readers.
How it works
Strict pair parsing without pronunciation inference
Every non-empty line is split at its first vertical bar. Empty terms, empty pronunciations, and lines without a separator are rejected with a field-level error. The selected format wraps the two trimmed values but does not alter spelling, stress marks, IPA, capitalization inside the pronunciation, or language. The input is capped at 100,000 characters and output at one million characters; parsing remains linear in the number of entered characters. The operation runs in this browser tab, applies explicit bounds before expensive work, and does not send workspace text to a Nirmion API.
Useful when
Prepare speakers and production teams
Use the formatter after pronunciation research is complete and consistency across a script or event document is the remaining task.
- Prepare host, narrator, podcast, classroom, newsroom, ceremony, or conference cue sheets from verified pronunciations.
- Create a compact glossary for product names, acronyms, places, specialist terminology, and contributor names.
- Standardize existing pronunciation notes without sending names or unreleased scripts to an audio service.
Questions answered
Pronunciation Guide Maker questions
Practical boundaries matter with text tools. These answers explain what is measured, what is retained, and when a manual review is still needed.
Does it generate pronunciations automatically?
No. You provide both the term and pronunciation. This avoids presenting an unverified linguistic guess as fact.
Can I enter IPA?
Yes. IPA or any respelling is preserved as text, but the tool does not validate its symbols or accuracy.
Why is a vertical bar required?
It creates an explicit, inspectable boundary between term and pronunciation while allowing spaces, parentheses, and punctuation inside either value.
Privacy and retention
Your draft stays on your device.
Nirmion performs these operations with browser JavaScript. The workspace does not call the catalogue API with your source text, and completed-job content is kept only in this component memory for re-download.
A downloaded file remains in your browser downloads, device storage, backups, and any location where you share it. Clear or close the page when working on a shared device, and avoid pasting secrets into extensions or third-party clipboard managers.
Tool details
A pronunciation guide formatter that does not guess
Nirmion Pronunciation Guide Maker converts verified term-pronunciation pairs into glossary, inline, or presenter formats. It is useful for events, narration, classrooms, newsrooms, podcasts, and recordings where accurate source guidance already exists and consistent presentation is needed. Every non-empty line is split at its first vertical bar. Empty terms, empty pronunciations, and lines without a separator are rejected with a field-level error. The selected format wraps the two trimmed values but does not alter spelling, stress marks, IPA, capitalization inside the pronunciation, or language. This makes the behavior inspectable and repeatable instead of presenting an unexplained result.
The output downloads as text_nirmion_tools_pronunciation_guide.txt. The page explicitly states that no dictionary, AI transcription, speech service, audio model, or identity inference is involved, and every pair remains reviewable. The operation runs in this browser tab, applies explicit bounds before expensive work, and does not send workspace text to a Nirmion API. Downloading clears the active workspace while the latest three completed results remain available in this tab for re-download.
