To add short pauses in your guided meditation scripts using ElevenLabs, you can use the <break> tag in your text. This tag allows you to introduce natural pauses in the speech output. Here's how you can use it:

Syntax Example:

"Take a deep breath." <break time="1.5s"> "Now, slowly exhale."

Key Details:

  • Break Time: Specify the pause duration in seconds (e.g., 1.0s for a 1-second pause). The AI supports pauses of up to 3 seconds.
  • Natural Pause: The AI interprets the <break> tag as a natural pause, not just silence, making the speech flow more realistic.

Caveats:

  • Using too many <break> tags in a single generation can cause issues, such as speed variations or instability in the audio output.
  • If you need pauses longer than 3 seconds, you can generate the audio first and then use audio editing software to manually insert longer pauses.
