#Selecting a Phonemizer

After selecting the voice, a phonemizer, a system that "translates" what is written in the note to phonemes that the model can understand, is selected automatically depending on the type of synthesizer chosen.
To select another phonemizer, click on the name of the current phonemizer, found below the name of the selected voicebank, and choose another compatible phonemizer.
Phonemizers are organized by language and by type of synthesizer.
Each model may come with a different default phonemizer.
