To modify the output in Text-to-Speech, you can use specific techniques to adjust emphasis and pauses:

  1. Adding Pauses: Use the syntax <break time="1.5s"> to introduce natural pauses. You can adjust the duration by changing the time value. For example:

    "This is an example. <break time='2s'> Here is the next sentence."

  2. Emphasizing Words: You can use capital letters or quotation marks around key phrases to draw attention to them. For instance:

    "This is VERY important."

  3. Fine-Tuning Speech Output: For more control, you can explore the Speech-to-Speech feature, which allows greater flexibility in modifying tone and expression.

If you need further assistance or have specific questions, feel free to ask!

Thank you.

Using capital letters is not really working. For example when using "it´s about THE woman" I get out "it´s about thee woman"
How can I solve this?

To address pronunciation issues like "THE" being pronounced as "thee," you can use techniques such as phonetic spellings or SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language) tags for better control. Here are some suggestions:

  1. Phonetic Spelling: Write "THE" as "thuh" to guide the AI toward the desired pronunciation.

  2. SSML Tags: Use the <phoneme> tag to specify pronunciation. For example:

    <phoneme alphabet="ipa" ph="ðə">THE</phoneme>

    This ensures the AI pronounces "THE" as "thuh."

  3. Alternative Spellings: You can try using quotation marks or single quotation marks around the word, like "THE" or 'THE', to emphasize it differently.

For longer pauses between words, you can use the SSML <break> tag:

It´s about <break time="1.5s"/> THE woman.

This adds a natural pause, and you can adjust the duration as needed.

If these methods don't fully resolve the issue, consider using voice samples or exploring Speech-to-Speech options for greater control over expressiveness.

thank you. I just played around and only "it´s about (!)THE(!) woman" was working to get the right result.
