Pronunciation.xml

This multilingual XML document is used as a content information file containing voice recognition definitions for a title.

It is always accompanied by pronunciation.sig, which is used to authenticate the pronunciation.xml

The phoneme element provides a phonemic/phonetic pronunciation for the contained text to enable starting the application by the user.

Depending on the licence region where a title is sold, these are always at least provided:

Language	License region(s)
English (US)	SCEA  ·   SCEK  ·   SCE Asia
English (UK)	SCEE
Japanese (JP)	SCEJ

Japanese text can be filled with an other language set of characters (e.g.: with English using Latin Alphabet).

Limitation: an operation within 10 seconds (depending on pronunciation sound, not characters)
