What is SSML?

SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language) is an XML-based markup language that controls how text-to-speech engines pronounce words, where they pause, which words to emphasize, and how fast or slow to speak.

Which TTS platforms support SSML?

Most major text-to-speech services support SSML, including Amazon Polly, Google Cloud Text-to-Speech, Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services, and IBM Watson TTS.

Can I add pauses and emphasis?

Yes, the generator lets you insert break tags for pauses of specific durations, emphasis tags for stress on important words, and prosody tags to control rate, pitch, and volume.
