phonetically
As it sounds
Phonetically describes something done according to the sounds of speech rather than conventional spelling.
When you spell a word phonetically, you write it the way it sounds: The name is spelled phonetically as "koh-BURN".
Languages with phonetic spelling systems have consistent correspondence between letters and sounds, unlike English, where the same letter can represent different sounds.
Phonetically also describes how linguists transcribe speech using specialized symbols that capture precise pronunciation.
