Flashcards Deluxe Forum

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.
