prosody rate can i set this with a property
Can i set the prosody rate with a property for the entire script instead of putting the prosody tag everywhere? Our IVR seems to speak everything back slightly too fast. I can't find a property for it.
Re: prosody rate can i set this with a property
Hi Neil,
There is no property available that will allow you to set the rate for the entire script.
However, please keep in mind the following when using the <prosody> tag and if you have Realspeak installed on your system:
"When using a Realspeak TTS voice, the talking speed of the TTS voice does not revert back to the normal speed after the <prosody> tag has been used. To revert it back to normal, you must use the <prosody> tag again with the attribute of "volume" set to "100.0" and the attribute of "rate" set to "default"."
For example:
Hope this helps.

For example:
Code: Select all
<?php
header("Content-type: text/xml");
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>"
?>
<vxml version="2.0">
<form>
<block>
<prompt>
This application tests the prosody settings of Realspeak.
<prosody volume="200.0" rate="slow">
This sentence is slow and loud.
</prosody>
<prosody volume="100.0" rate="default">
This sentence is back to the default settings.
</prosody>
</prompt>
</block>
</form>
</vxml>

oh so it stays at that setting just until the end of the current script right, so at script end it will be reset to default?

Hi Neil,
To clarify about the code example, the first sentence, "This sentence is slow and loud." will be read at a volume level of 200.0 and at a slow rate.
The next sentence, "This sentence is back to the default settings." will be read at a normal volume level of 100.0 and at a normal rate.
From here, every following prompt would be read at the default settings of 100.0 volume level and a normal speed rate.

This sentence should sound like the default settings sentence.
