  • I could be wrong but dont think that eleven labs support rate ssml tag

  • I’m having the same issue. These tags work in the text to speech section, but when you try them in the AI generated voices section, nothing changes. 

  • 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!

      Thank you all for giving me help.  Not sure what I am doing wrong but I am not seeing any difference.

  • 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.
