Unfortunately the line breaks don't do

Which model?
I meant which model, not voice. So are you using multilingual 2 for example.

Voice ID - Andrea Spanish (Medellin accent) qHkrJuifPpn95wK3rm2A
Did you try a different voice? Some of them, depending on the training data will have shorter pauses between words (which then get's translated to this break time as well)

Also I'm not sure if it's a bug but all the characters to add in break time count towards the character limit
Not a bug, they do count unfortunately.

Ah yeah Multilingual v2 is what I was using

[plucky hill]

I haven't tried other voices becuase I specifically wanted that one to get the closest accent to what I will encounter whenever I move to that country

But I can try another that is close

[plucky hill]

Would you suggest trying a different model also?

[inland vessel]

It's really a balancing act depending on your use case.

But I would be careful using that many break tags in one generation.. Are you trying to create like a personal "language audio guide"?

[plucky hill]

Long walls of text preferably and small breaks in between each line maybe .6s

Do you think adding a - after each sentence would work based on the prompting guide you sent me?

[plucky hill]

Yeah I want to hear the phrases that I create in Spanish. That is the best voice I've found. And you guys have the best voices in general it seems for the TTS apps but it will be difficult to use if it just all runs together

would creating this in projects make a difference?

[inland vessel]

Punctuation can help.

But projects could be a good option as well.

If you have coding skills / can teach yourself then you could use the api for this..

[plucky hill]

What about projects could add the breaks?

[plucky hill]

I wouldn't really know where to begin for using the API on my own

[inland vessel]

If each line is a separate paragraph then it will add a pause. It is designed for audio books for example so headers and sub headers are designed to add breaks. Just do some testing with paragraphs, maybe sub headers etc in gdocs then import it to projects and test what works well for you..

I was the same 2 years ago, I didn't know what an API was but chatgpt helped me understand it and implement it.. Pretty easy if you have a brain for learning.

[plucky hill]

I don't know if it is something wrong with the model or voice, but it's not really adding a pause for the new lines, but I will try to have a space in between each
