# pronunciationHint

A hint that describes how to pronounce the custom intent object.

## Declaration

```swift
var pronunciationHint: String? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This property provides a soundalike equivalent of the object’s displayString to Siri, rather than a phonetic spelling. For example, the phrase “iTunes” might have “eye toons” as its pronunciation string.
