This tutorial demonstrates how to modify speech synthesis in real-time within your text.
How To Do It
First, I need to give credit where credit is due. I didn't actually created this tutorial - instead, it was inspired and the video was created by Sebediah. I'm merely moving his information into this tutorial for others to find.

Sebediah figured out that you can include SSML code in your text to speak. He also created a fantastic tutorial video, which you can see below.
Here's an example of code he provided to give you a head start before the video:
#The tag is only needed if you're going to make other changes mid-sentence, otherwise you can just use the first tag and don't need the second one after the string.
$VoiceStart = "<prosody pitch ='+230%'>"
$VoiceEnd = "</prosody>"
SayWait($VoiceStart + "When I'm tired my voice gets very deep and I speak slowly" + $VoiceEnd)
there are no 4 lines in the above chapter,i only 3 i see in the video. but indeed it doesn work .lol, no matter how many lines it does not work
thanks anyway
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")
Very nice video with great information!
Hello,
All the examples here are wrong. You have a syntax errors:
$VoiceStart = "(prosody pitch = '+100%')"
You have spaces before and after the equal (=) sign and the angle brackets are replaced with parenthesis.
If you remove the spaces IT WORKS!!! (and don't forget that this page is removing the angle brackets. You have to put them back in. Parenthesis don't work in the variable declaration!)
try the code below in the picture and watch out for the added spaces and parenthesis.

many thanks for the solution.mine looks like this.
$VoiceStart2 = "<prosody pitch='-70%'><prosody rate='.200'>" $VoiceStart3 = "<prosody pitch='-70%'><prosody rate='.100'>"
say($voicestart2 + " high voice ") say($voicestart3 + " low voice ")
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")
