Emphasis and neural voices
Hi! I'm new to using text-to-speech.
I see in this article that you cannot use the <emphasis> tag on a neural voice: SSML support
I see here that there are no standard voices in American English...
Great question. Amazon's article about SSML tagging states: "Emphasizing words changes the speaking rate and volume."
So you could still build your own emphasis by adjusting both the rate and volume level - more steps, but a viable workaround.
