hypernunciate

hypernunciate

1. v; Hypernunciate(transitive), Hypernunciated(past tense), Hypernunciating (present-tense).

a. To exaggerate your enunciation (speech) so that even speech-to-text systems can understand you.

It's a little embarrassing to hypernunciate at my phone on the walk to work, but it's the only way I can be productive during that time.

I've been using speech-to-text software too long; I'm starting to hypernunciate at my co-workers.
