SSML

Within the voiceover text for a video scene, you can embed SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language) source code. For example, the following text contains an SSML <sub> tag to ensure that "Hg" is pronounced "Mercury".

My favorite chemical element is <sub alias="Mercury">Hg</sub>, because it looks so shiny.

Adding a speech pause (by clicking the button) effectively adds an SSML <break> tag with the appropriate delay.

The following table shows the voices available; for each voice it shows the provider name corresponding to the name used in EngageOne™ Communicate (EOCM).
