TTY Reading Doesn't pause for a new paragraph

TTY Reading Doesn't pause for a new paragraph

Postby TomJinCA » Sun Mar 29, 2020 2:43 pm

Hello,

I'm new to FD and I really love it. A question, though. The TTY reading pauses at commas, periods, etc., in the middle of a paragraph. But if I have a paragraph that ends in a comma and then 2 new lines (a line space and new paragraph), it doesn't pause. Very curious, as when I've had the same situation in other apps, it does pause.

Thanks for any input :)

Hi,

Which TTS are you using? Siri, Android TTS, Amazon Polly?

If Amazon Polly, you can enter a tag that looks like below to add a delay:
<break time="2s"/>

If you do this, you'll need to redownload/recreate the TTS sounds (by first deleting existing TTS sound).

If you are using Siri or Android TTS, I don't know how to add a delay easily. I don't have any support for this at this time.

Better supporting pauses in TTS is something I will consider for a future update, but likely won't happen soon.

Thank you, Ernie. It's not a huge deal.
