Text-to-speech speed control

Stephen Brown‭ 7 months ago

Some of the TTS voices produce really fast speech, it would be great to be able to slow them down a bit especially while learning, assuming there's an option in the underlying API.

Thanks for all your work on an incredible app!

For the developer: since you appear to be using the Microsoft Azure TTS APIs, you can use SSML to control the speaking rate. Something like:

<speak>
  <prosody rate="slow">你好</prosody>
</speak>

Where the rate is configurable as a template field definition option would be cool! More info: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/speech-service/speech-synthesis-markup-voice#adjust-prosody
