There are a few exceptions to this. The letter ΓÇÿsΓÇÖ can be voiced or unvoiced. In the word ΓÇ£passes,ΓÇ¥ the first ΓÇÿsΓÇÖ sound is unvoiced, the second is voiced. The phonetic symbol for unvoiced ΓÇÿsΓÇÖ is ΓÇÿSΓÇÖ and for voiced ΓÇÿsΓÇÖ
is ΓÇÿZΓÇÖ. Of course, you also occasionally have
the sound of the ΓÇÿsΓÇÖ in ΓÇ£pleasure, ΓÇ¥ which is
represented as ΓÇÿZHΓÇÖ. The ΓÇÿthΓÇÖ combination can
also be voiced or unvoiced. When voiced, as
in ΓÇ£then,ΓÇ¥ it is represented as ΓÇÿDHΓÇÖ. When
unvoiced, as in ΓÇ£thought,ΓÇ¥ use ΓÇÿTHΓÇÖ.
There are also two kinds of ΓÇÿrΓÇÖ sounds. In the first, the ΓÇÿrΓÇÖ sound actually is the vowel sound (as in ΓÇ£birdΓÇ¥) and we use the symbol ΓÇÿERΓÇÖ to represent that vowel. In the second, ΓÇÿrΓÇÖ follows another r sound (as in ΓÇ£baredΓÇ¥) and we use the symbol ΓÇÿRΓÇÖ to represent it in that case.

Note: all phonetic symbols use capital letters. The SayPhonetic command is very picky about this: if in doubt, run your string through the function LowerToUpper, as in
SayPhonetic LowerToUpper("/hay.")
