The word Roice is spelled with two syllables: /rɔɪs/. The first syllable is pronounced with an open-mid back rounded vowel sound /ɔ/ and an diphthong /ɪ/ which creates a rising sound. The second syllable is pronounced with a voiceless alveolar fricative /s/. The spelling of Roice is uncommon and may be confused with the more common name, Royce. However, the phonetic transcription of /rɔɪs/ clearly distinguishes it from the sound of Royce.
