# Get Brand Glossary

> Returns one brand glossary with its full term list, so you can see exactly which terms are remapped and how. Use this to verify a glossary's contents when a generated video pronounces a term unexpectedly.

Pronunciations affect generated audio only: a term keeps its original spelling in captions and subtitles while being spoken as its `pronunciation`. Glossaries are created and edited in the HeyGen web app under Brand Kit; this endpoint is read-only.
