Hello AnnaBertoncini,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your thoughts on AI TTS and SSML functionality.

You are correct that AI Assistant has limited support for speech synthesis markup language (SSML) because AI-generated voices are designed to understand the relationship between words and adjust delivery accordingly.

I believe this is a good request, so I shared your feedback with our product team. We'll let you know if there are any changes in the future regarding this area in Articulate AI.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Any update on this? I'm also having issues trying to get the AI voices to pronounce acronyms correctly, or interject pauses so that the speech sounds more natural.

    Thanks for following up on this request.

    There are no updates at the moment, but we'll make sure to post in this thread if there are any developments regarding expanded SSML support in Articulate AI text-to-speech.
