Here are the documented ways to reduce unintended mid‑sentence pauses:

If you’re streaming TTS (WebSocket/input streaming)

Turn on auto_mode or increase chunk_length_schedule so the model doesn’t stall waiting for more characters. When auto_mode is off and too few characters arrive, the model pauses until the chunk threshold is met. (elevenlabs.io)
Prefer the output streaming (SSE) or regular HTTP TTS endpoint when you already have the full text; WebSockets buffer partial text and can introduce minor gaps. (help.elevenlabs.io)
When streaming text yourself, send smaller chunks but flush only at sentence boundaries for smoother audio. (elevenlabs.io)

If you’re generating in one shot (website, Studio, or regular HTTP API)

Remove any hidden pause triggers in the text:
- SSML break tags like <break time="…s" /> add pauses by design. (help.elevenlabs.io)
- Dashes/em‑dashes and ellipses can introduce pauses or hesitation. Avoid them if not intended. (help.elevenlabs.io)
Increase the Speed setting (e.g., 1.05–1.2) to shorten natural gaps in delivery. Available in TTS, Studio, Conversational AI, and API. (help.elevenlabs.io)
Adjust voice settings if artifacts persist:
- Higher Stability produces cleaner, more consistent speech (lower variability). (elevenlabs.io)
Avoid very short prompts; punctuation and prompt length affect cadence. Longer prompts are more consistent in Eleven v3. (elevenlabs.io)
In Studio exports, enable Auto‑Regenerate (default) to automatically fix mispronunciations and unwanted audio artifacts. (help.elevenlabs.io)

If you can share whether you’re using WebSockets vs. regular TTS, and which model/voice, I can point you to the exact settings to change.
