The <prosody> tag enables fine-tuning of voice characteristics such as volume, pitch, rate, and intonation, allowing for nuanced vocal responses from conversational AI bots.
Local Settings – Found in all blocks which include SSML tags.
Global Settings – Located in , and are accessible during the addition or editing of a release.
When turned ON, global settings are applied across all responses of the bot unless specifically overridden by local settings within individual blocks. If local settings specify 'rate', 'pitch', and/or 'volume' (but not 'contour'), they will take precedence over global settings.
For instance, using the <prosody> tag could make the bot speak with increased speed, volume, or pitch to convey urgency. Conversely, for a more relaxed and slower response, you can fine-tune the prosody settings as needed.
Specifies pitch variation or pattern for the text:
linear: Pitch rises or falls linearly.
exponential: Pitch rises or falls exponentially.
none: Maintains a steady pitch.
default: Uses the default setting of the speech synthesis engine.
