Using SSML for Text-to-Speech
I am trying to use SSML to craft a dynamic voiceover for one of my Storyline 360 lessons. I am having some issues with the program accepting the script I put in. I also don't see where I can use the standard voices since all my text-to-speech options for English-US seem to be Neural. Here is the script I would like to use, and I appreciate any assistance.
<speak>
Hello! <break time="500ms"/> This is an example of an SSML-enhanced text.
<p>Paragraphs are separated by a natural pause in speech.</p>
For phonetic pronunciation, use <phoneme alphabet="ipa" ph="tɛkst">text</phoneme>.
This sentence is followed by a natural pause in speech.
This is an **important** point. <prosody volume="+3dB">Highlight this part.</prosody>
This is the 1st <say-as interpret-as="ordinal">first</say-as> example of using <say-as>.
The <sub alias="World Wide Web Consortium">W3C</sub> is how you pronounce the abbreviation.
