We have launched Smart Editor with SSML for text to speech conversion. We can add speech effects like a break between words, emphasis on words, or pronouncing abbreviations or phone numbers correctly and many more. Using this editor will make final speech more life like
Before knowing how to use this feature, let's look at basic steps to use this editor properly.

Each feature in the editor is implemented using tags. For adding any effect, you need to add corresponding tag to your input text. In the following example, text will be pronounced slowly compared to normal speech speed.
<prosody rate="slow">speaking slowly than normal</prosody>.
It would be best if you were careful while using Smart tags in your text. To get the desired effect, we need to place text between the opening and closing tags. Also while deleting effect, we need to remove its start and end tag. Failing to do that will result in unexpected results.
You will not be charged for characters in opening and closing tags
