Pauses Using SSML
We've introduced a feature that allows for pauses in speech through our API and the Speech Synthesis page.
To add a three-second pause using SSML, you can for example input: "Martin walked down the street<break time="1.5s"/> he looked into the camera and laughed."
Breaks currently have a maximum duration of three seconds and can be passed directly into the text passed to our API. They will be billed at 10 characters each.
