# Phoneme list

{% hint style="info" %}
Use [Score Text/Phoneme List](/api-reference/score-text-phoneme-list.md) for scoring a phonetic list.
{% endhint %}

The Speechace API also offers a function to score words that are concocted using a string of phonemes. As an example, consider the word "Gotcha," which is not a true dictionary word but is widely used in American vernacular. Such a word can be scored using the [Score Text/Phoneme List](/api-reference/score-text-phoneme-list.md) function which accepts a text string in the form of a list of phonemes along with an audio file and provides a quality score based on how closely the pronunciation in the audio file matches the phoneme list.
