Leveraging generated audio makes it possible to deliver a more engaging, accessible, and immersive tour, without getting bogged down with constant manual audio recording 🔊
In this article, we will explain how to generate audio for a 360 scene and hotspots, but this process can also be followed to add generated audio to tour splash pages, gallery scenes, and Matterport Embed scenes.
If you've identified a word or phrase that is or could be consistently mispronounced by the AI, add it as a record in the Pronunciation section of your Circuit CMS to avoid manually regenerating that specific word across your content.
