The pronunciation guide uses the ARPABET phonetic system—the same system used in speech recognition and text-to-speech applications.

Vowel Examples:

AE1 = cat, bat

EH1 = bed, head

IY1 = see, me

OW1 = go, boat

UW1 = boot, do

Stress Numbers:

0 = no stress (unstressed)

1 = primary stress (loud)

2 = secondary stress (medium)

Example:
AH0 TH IY1 N AH0
= a-THEE-na (Athena)

The stressed syllable (marked with 1) is pronounced louder and clearer than others.
