Speech Synthesis Markkup Language

I was wondering whether it is possible to use elements from the Speech Synthesis Markup Language to modify the speech output using EZ-script? Or if there are other markup options other than the ones already given in the Speech Settings Control?

@DJ or @larschrjensen I'm not sure who created the tutorial but I noticed on the SSML tutorial page that the code window has errors in it. The tag mentioned in the comment is not there and there's no SSML tags within the strings. Just thought I'd point it out so that the code actually works if someone decides to try it out:)

Very nice to see this being turned into an actual tutorial though!

This is awesome info on voice adjustments! What I do for additional effects is using my old Apple I-phone 4s there is a Q-Neo voice changer App in the Apple store but can be downloaded a free version with a few free effects. The effect I use is deep Gold Cylon Command robot and when using the default "David" voice from EZB it changes David into Cylon Commander,totally Ominous sound effect for sure! Only thing is you need to use the Apple Guitar Rig Microphone/Amp connector to input EZB sound into Iphone and back out to main robot speaker Amp. It is really loud doing it like that because it is designed for Guitar effects going to real Amps. :D

The video has disappeared and the prosody strings do not work.  Has the SSML changed?

This works with Microsoft voices

This works in EZB scripts, all you need

ControlCommand("Speech Settings", "SetVoiceRate", "slow") saywait("I am speaking slow")

ControlCommand("Speech Settings", "SetVoiceRate", "Fast") saywait("Now i am speaking fast")

#Too fast to hear #ControlCommand("Speech Settings", "SetVoiceRate", "ExtraFast") #saywait("Now i am speaking extrafast")

ControlCommand("Speech Settings", "SetVoiceRate", "ExtraSlow") saywait("Now i am speaking super slow")
