<s>
This tag is supported by generative, long-form, neural, and standard TTS formats.
To add a pause between lines or sentences in your text, use
the <s> tag. Using this tag has the same effect
as:
-
Ending a sentence with a period (.)
-
Specifying a pause with
<break strength="strong"/>
Unlike the <break> tag, the <s> tag
encloses the sentence. This is useful for synthesizing speech
that is organized in lines, rather than sentence, such as
poetry.
In the following example, the <s> tag
creates a short pause after both the first and second sentences.
The final sentence has no <s> tag, but it is
also followed by a short pause because it ends with a
period.
<speak> <s>Mary had a little lamb</s> <s>Whose fleece was white as snow</s> And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go. </speak>
