When VoiceOver is on, i'd like to control the way my app is pronounced. For example, if my app is named "BLOT" , currently pronounced "BLAUGHT" - my desired pronounciation would be "BLOAT". I'is this possible?
I've did my research and found that there are ways to control the characters via CFBundleDisplayName on Infoplist.strings, but havent found anything that fits my particular need. any ideas?

1I would add the question should include locale. Different languages will have different phonetics even if the app name is not localized. – uchuugaka Feb 11 '14 at 23:14

As of iOS 8 and OS X 10.10, you can use the CFBundleSpokenName Info.plist key to achieve what you want.

This appears to be exactly what I need, but on iOS 8.3 it seems to have no effect. Any trick to getting this working besides adding it to the plist? --Thanks – Dan Loughney Jun 21 '15 at 14:33

Given that my Radar (14077202) asking for a way to do this is still open, I believe you cannot.
Therefore, the only way to do so is to file your own bug with Apple (bugreport.apple.com) and wait for them to provide such a feature.
