Storyline text-to-speech AI Audio Voices - SSML Tags

As per title, are SSML Tags compatible with the new text-to-speech AI voices?

I was trying to change the phonetic pronunciation of a specific word, to no avail. I was however successful in adding a pause with a tag.

Thanks!

    I'd like an answer too. I tried using <break time="250ms"/>, but it didn't work. How did you add a pause?

      I used this code:

      <speak>

      This is a test to know if <break time="3s"/>pauses work correctly with the voice.</speak>

      You should hear the pause if you try it. Always make sure to start and end your text with <speak> and </speak>, respectively.

    I want to use a break time that's less than one second. <break time="250ms"/> and <break time=".7s"/> doesn't seem to work.
