To add a pause in a TTS call using the API, you can use the <break> tag. This tag creates a natural pause in the speech. Here's an example of how to use it:

"Give me one second to think about it." <break time="1.0s" /> "Yes, that would work."

The time attribute should be specified in seconds, and the AI can handle pauses of up to 3 seconds in length. For more details, you can refer to the Pause section of our guide to Prompting.

To add a pause in a TTS call using the API, you can use the <break> tag. Here's an example of how you can do this:

{
  "text": "Give me one second to think about it. <break time=\"1.0s\" /> Yes, that would work.",
  "voice": "your_voice_id"
}

Make sure to replace "your_voice_id" with the actual voice ID you want to use. The break tag will create a natural pause in the speech. The AI can handle pauses of up to 3 seconds in length.
