Voice tag in SSML

beaver

Is the voice tag allow in ssml ?

I can't make it work, even a simple example like 

"#ssml[<speak><voice name='Chantal'>Message en français</voice></speak>]"


What I am trying to do is this:

I have a 3 level deep bilingual run menu:

Main: Asking in english and in french, the callee language. 
second_fr or second_en: According the selection in the main menu, it will either play the second_FR or second_EN menu
third_fr or third_en: Like the second one, based on the language selection of the first menu.

I have set the action locale to be in french, since this is the first language in my area. But I feel that the english part in the call sounds weird some time, even if I use the <lang xml:lang-"en-US"> tag where there is some english. If I don't set any locale on my action, the french becomes very bad.

Is there a way to do this all in the ACE ?

Hi,

 

As we established in another thread, the voice tag is not respected by the Voice API. The locale and voice which is used by the SSML is set using the `locale` property in the SVAML response.

 

I am currently working on a tutorial that shows how you can use the Voice API for supporting multiple languages, and I will update you when it is available.

 

Thanks,
