TTS Pronunciation Help
Hi Sandie,
Happy to help!
You can use this example to differentiate between the verb and noun pronunciations of the word progress.
<speak>Noun: progress<w role="amazon:VB">Verb: progress</w></speak>You can check out this article to learn more about how to customize how words are pronounced in Storyline 360's text-to-speech feature.
Hello BJ,
Happy to chime in! The <w> tag suggested above works for standard and neural voices. Here's a list of supported SSML tags for both voices.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have additional questions.
Hello can you show me where should I actually paste the ssml tag in the text. Here is the text:
Here you’ll see the names of some key (but not all!) regulatory agencies involved in the clinical trial process.
These agencies regulate clinical trials in areas where our company conducts business, so it is important to be familiar with them.
They are as follows;
The FDA better known as the Food and Drug Administration of the United States of America,
the EMA, which is the European Medicines Agency of the European Union,
the PMDA, which is the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency of Japan and Health Canada.I bolded the word that needs to be pronounced as verb instead as noun.
