Tts Tags In Voice Guide Not Working

[zmanim]

I am running Windows XP, Voiceguide 6, ATT Natural Voices TTS Mike v1.4

 

I have text that I want read to the caller.

I want to include TTS tags in my text.

But every time I try it, the TTS engine just reads the tags instead obeying them.

 

I know that the engine supports the tags because the tags work fine in the speech window of the control panel.

It is only in voiceguide that the TTS engine treats the tags as text.

 

Examples:

None of the following work in voiceguide:

<spell>

<rate speed="-5">

<volume level="100">

<pron sym="h eh 1 l ow & w er 1 l d "/>

<break time='3s' />

<prosody rate='-0.3'>

 

Please tell me how I can get tags to work in voiceguide.

 

Thank you.

Which exact version of VG v6 are you using? v6.0.3391 or some previous version?

 

Are you able to install and see how VG v7 works for you? (v6 and v7 can be installed side by side).

Please try adding this to the beginning of the TTS text:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<speak version="1.0" xml:lang="en-US"

xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/synthesis">

 

and this at the end:

 

</speak>

 

 

or, if above does not work, try adding this to the beginning of the TTS text:

 

<p>

 

and this at the end:

 

</p>

 

Please post traces capturing this.
