Text To Speech - Adjust Volume for Expletives

[Jim Howard]

I use the "<say-as interpret-as="expletive">" SSML tag to censor some words when generating speech, however I have had numerous complaints about the volume of the beep generated.

Is there a way to lower the volume of the generated beep?

Hi,

You can control the volume of the generated beep using the prosody volume element. Your ssml input would resemble the following :

<prosody volume=\'soft\'>

    <say-as interpret-as=\'expletive\'>censor this</say-as>

</prosody>
