Danish Phonemes

The tables below list the full set of phonemes supported by Capacity Private Cloud Neural and LLM TTS for Danish (da-DK). Each phoneme is shown with its Unicode code point(s), decimal value(s), IPA symbol, X-SAMPA representation, viseme, and an example word. Consonants and vowels are listed separately.

Phonemes can be supplied in SSML using the <phoneme> element (with alphabet="ipa" or alphabet="x-sampa") to override the default pronunciation of a word. For the complete list of Neural TTS voices, see Neural TTS Languages.

These phonemes apply to the following Danish Neural TTS voices:

Supplementary English phonemes. In addition to the native Danish inventory, this phoneme set includes a number of English phonemes (marked with ^* and grouped at the end of each table). These are provided so that English words and loanwords that appear within Danish text are pronounced correctly.

Viseme values use the standard Capacity viseme set (for lip-sync and avatar animation). X-SAMPA is the ASCII-encoded equivalent of the IPA symbol.
