AI-generated Answer for tarsaop
To introduce a pause or break in the speech, you can use the syntax <break time="1.5s" />. This will create an exact and natural pause in the speech. The break time should be described in seconds, and the AI can handle pauses of up to 3 seconds in length. Here's an example:
"Give me one second to think about it." <break time="1.0s" /> "Yes, that would work."
Please note that using an excessive number of break tags can potentially cause some instability in the AI, such as speeding up the speech or introducing more noise in the audio.
There are also alternative ways to introduce a pause, such as using a simple dash - or the em-dash —. You can even add multiple dashes such as -- -- for a longer pause. For example:
"It - is - getting late."
Ellipsis ... can sometimes also work to add a pause between words but usually also adds some “hesitation” or “nervousness” to the voice.
"I... yeah, I guess so..."
For pronunciation, you can use the Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) phoneme tag. Pronunciations are specified by wrapping words using the <phoneme alphabet="ipa" ph="your-IPA-Pronunciation-here">word</phoneme> tag for IPA, or <phoneme alphabet="cmu-arpabet" ph="your-CMU-pronunciation-here">word</phoneme> tag for CMU Arpabet. Replace "your-IPA-Pronunciation-here" or "your-CMU-pronunciation-here" with the desired IPA or CMU Arpabet pronunciation. Here's an example for IPA:
<phoneme alphabet="ipa" ph="ˈæktʃuəli">actually</phoneme>
And an example for CMU Arpabet:
<phoneme alphabet="cmu-arpabet" ph="AE K CH UW AH L IY">actually</phoneme>
