AI TTS and SSML functionality
Hello everyone,
I would like to bring the attention of the community on AI TTS and the limited use of SSML with it.
I know that it is not supported because you built AI voices "to understand the ...
Another example: "lead" (as in the element, Pb). Half the time, the TTS says it with a long "e" (as in, "He will lead the parade"). In the regular (non-AI) TTS, spelling it as "led" fixes the issue. But the AI TTS is too smart for its own good, recognizes that "led" doesn't fit the context, and assumes "this must be an acronym (despite the lower case letters)" and reads it as individual letters. A phoneme tag would get around this.
Fortunately, I found a different workaround. This time.
Appreciate you sharing another example with us, BrendtWaters. I've passed this along to our Product Team for awareness. We'll be sure to share any updates in this thread.
