Pronunciation

Dear ReadAloud- I am appreciating this app as someone with a chronic illness that sometimes brings brainfog and/or blurry vision that makes reading- a favorite past-time- difficult.

I think it would be great if we could allow the reader to memorize pronunciations of certain names or words. The reader works well overall with general pronunciations, but I will be 100% honest- I actually read a lot of fanfiction online! That often features names or words (including onomatopoeias or sound words) that the read aloud extension struggles with because they aren't typical.

It would be great to be able to create a list of words with pronunciations. I have a reading app on my mobile devices that allows me to do this, but unless I'm reading a long text, it's such a pain to have to download a pdf and to only be able to read on my devices. I'd much prefer to use this app!
