Using SSML in AI voices

Yes, SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language) can be used in AI voices to control pronunciation, tone, pitch, speed, pauses, and other speech elements. Many AI voice platforms, such as Google Text-to-Speech, Amazon Polly, and Microsoft Azure Speech, support SSML to enhance voice output.

If you're using an AI voice tool, you can add SSML tags to make the speech more natural and engaging.

Hi MichaelCarlino-,

Thanks for reaching out!

Yes, SSML tags work with AI assistant-generated text-to-speech audio files. You can use this simple script to confirm that the SSML tags are read when you generate the audio using AI assistant:

<speak>
 I can pause <break time="3s"/>.
 I can play a sound.
</speak>

Hope this helps!

SSML is a powerful tool for enhancing AI-generated voices with better intonation and emphasis. It helps make speech sound more natural and engaging.
