Wondercraft makes it easy to create professional audio content in minutes, but like any tech platform, occasional hiccups can occur. Whether it’s weird noises in the generated audio, pronunciation quirks, or issues with publishing your latest edits, we’ve got you covered. In this post, we’ll walk you through how to troubleshoot the most common issues you might encounter while using Wondercraft.
1. Solving Weird Noises in Your Audio
One of the most unusual problems you may experience is the presence of weird noises in your generated audio. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it can be a bit frustrating. Fortunately, resolving this issue is usually quick and easy.
• Check for Empty Spaces or Segments: Sometimes, strange noises are caused by hidden empty spaces or empty segments in your script. Go through your script carefully, remove any unintended spaces, and regenerate the affected audio segments.
• Make Small Changes: If no empty segments are found, try making a small change in your script, such as altering punctuation, capitalization, or a word or two. After making these edits, regenerate the audio for that segment.
• Reach Out for Help: If the problem persists despite your best efforts, don’t hesitate to contact Wondercraft support via the live chat bubble for further assistance.
2. Fixing Pronunciation Errors
Another common issue is the mispronunciation of certain words, acronyms, or numbers by the AI. This can be especially tricky if you’re dealing with specific terminology, brand names, or acronyms. Here’s how to address it:
• Write Words Phonetically: Often, the easiest way to correct a pronunciation error is to spell out the word phonetically in the script. For instance:
• Web URLs: Instead of “www.wondercraft.ai”, write it as “w w w dot wondercraft dot ai”.
• Email Addresses: Instead of writing “support@wondercraft.ai”, try “support at wondercraft dot ai”.
• Hashtags: Write out “#wondercraft” as “hashtag wondercraft”.
• Years and Acronyms: Break down years like “2024” into “twenty twenty-four” and acronyms like “LBS” as “El Bee Es” .
• Set Custom Pronunciations: For words that need to be consistently pronounced in a particular way across your project, follow the custom pronunciation steps outlined in the Wondercraft help guide here.
3. Resolving Unpublished Edits
Sometimes, after making edits to a published audio track, the changes don’t seem to appear in the final shared version. If this happens, follow these steps to ensure your latest edits are reflected:
• Produce Track After Edits: Once you’ve made your edits, make sure to click on Produce Track. This regenerates the audio with your changes.
• Unpublish and Republish: After your track is finalized, click Share on the track page or the edit page. You’ll need to unpublish the track by selecting Unpublish, and then create a shareable link to publish again. Don’t worry—the URL won’t change, but the content will be updated .
Conclusion: Simple Fixes for Smooth Audio Creation
Wondercraft is a powerful tool, but even the best tools need a little tweaking now and then. Whether you’re dealing with unexpected audio noises, pronunciation glitches, or publishing issues, the solutions are often simple and straightforward. By following these troubleshooting steps, you’ll be back to producing professional-quality audio in no time.
