 Detection rule: auto-expand fires when the token cannot be pronounced as a natural Russian syllable — length ≤ 2 (ИП, ЕС), 0 vowels (ФСБ, СНГ), 2+ consecutive vowels (ОАЭ), or 2+ consecutive consonants (США, ЦСКА). Tokens with strict CVC/CVCV alternation pass through (ВОЗ → "воз", НАТО → "нато", ОПЕК → "опек"). Small stop-list for common short words (ОН, МЫ, ВЫ, КАК, ЧТО, …) and Ъ/Ь-containing tokens are always skipped. See [#232](https://github.com/drakulavich/kesha-voice-kit/issues/232).
 
+**English acronyms** (`en-*` voices, Kokoro-82M):
+
+```bash
+# Auto-expand on by default — FBI reads as "ef bee eye"
+kesha say --voice en-am_michael 'The FBI is investigating.'
+
+# Force a literal reading (Kokoro fuses unknown caps tokens to one syllable)
+kesha say --voice en-am_michael --no-expand-abbrev 'FBI.'
+
+# Explicit SSML control (overrides the rule and the stop-list)
+kesha say --voice en-am_michael --ssml \
+  '<speak><say-as interpret-as="characters">NASA</say-as></speak>'
+```
+
+Three-table mechanism:
+- **Letter-spell** — uppercase Latin tokens 2–5 chars (no digits, no mixed case) get expanded letter-by-letter (FBI → "ef bee eye"). Disable with `--no-expand-abbrev`.
+- **`STOP_LIST`** (30 entries) — natural-English caps words pass through unchanged: NASA, NATO, AIDS, OPEC, IKEA, ASCII, NAFTA, LASER, RADAR, SCUBA + emphatic length-2 caps (OK, NO, GO, IT, IS, AS, AT, BY, IN, ON, OR, OF, TO, WE, US, MY, ME, HE, BE, DO).
+- **`IPA_LEXICON`** (20 entries) — case-sensitive token → IPA-phoneme map that bypasses G2P entirely. Covers all-caps acronyms with industry pronunciations (EPAM, JSON, JPEG, SQL, ASAP, GIF, CRUD, JWT) AND mixed-case proper nouns (Anthropic, Microsoft, Claude, NVIDIA, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, GraphQL, Linux, Tokio, macOS, Granola, OAuth). IPA hits fire even with `--no-expand-abbrev` — they're intent-explicit, parallel to `<say-as>`.
+
+Override per-token via SSML `<say-as interpret-as="characters">…</say-as>` (always letter-spells via the table). See [#244](https://github.com/drakulavich/kesha-voice-kit/issues/244).

 **Russian abbreviation handling** (`ru-vosk-*` only): all-uppercase Cyrillic tokens (length 2–5) auto-expand letter-by-letter when the token cannot be pronounced as a natural Russian syllable — `ФСБ объявила` → `эф-эс-бэ объявила`. Tokens with strict CVC/CVCV alternation pass through (ВОЗ → "воз", НАТО → "нато"). Disable per call with `--no-expand-abbrev`. Override per-token via SSML `<say-as interpret-as="characters">…</say-as>` (always wins, even with `--no-expand-abbrev`). Stop-list for common short words (ОН, МЫ, ВЫ, КАК, ЧТО) prevents false positives. Closes [#232](https://github.com/drakulavich/kesha-voice-kit/issues/232).
 
+**English acronym handling** (`en-*` Kokoro-82M only). Three tables: (1) **letter-spell** for uppercase 2–5-char tokens not on the stop-list (FBI → "ef bee eye", HTTP → "aitch tee tee pee"); (2) **`STOP_LIST`** (30 entries) — natural-English caps words pass through (NASA, NATO, AIDS, OPEC, IKEA, ASCII, NAFTA, LASER, RADAR, SCUBA + 20 emphatic length-2 caps); (3) **`IPA_LEXICON`** (20 entries) — case-sensitive token → IPA-phoneme map that bypasses G2P entirely.

Disable letter-spell with `--no-expand-abbrev` — IPA hits still fire (intent-explicit). Override per-token via SSML `<say-as interpret-as="characters">…</say-as>` (always wins). Closes [#244](https://github.com/drakulavich/kesha-voice-kit/issues/244).
+
 **Russian word stress** (`ru-vosk-*` only): `<emphasis>сл+ово</emphasis>` shifts stress to the vowel marked with `+`. `<emphasis level="none">сл+ово</emphasis>` strips the `+` (cancel inherited emphasis). Other voices (`en-*`, `macos-*`) silently strip the `+` and warn once per process. Auto-stress dictionary not provided — caller writes the `+` manually. Closes [#233](https://github.com/drakulavich/kesha-voice-kit/issues/233).
