Slowing down Twilio text to voice playback in gather
0
I am attempting to use the SSMLProsody function to slow down the pace of playback for a persons name as well as a phone number. I have used the space and period method for showing down the pace but I would like more control. I see the SSMLProsody method has a "rate" that I would think would do the trick but I am not able to get it to work. If anyone can help me with this I would appreciate it. My code example:
var gather = new Gather(allowVoiceResponse ? new List<Gather.InputEnum>(new {Gather.InputEnum.Speech, Gather.InputEnum.Dtmf}) : new List<Gather.InputEnum>(new { Gather.InputEnum.Dtmf }),
numDigits: 1,
hints: "connect me, connect me now, connect",
timeout: CallLoopTimeout,
speechTimeout: "auto",
action: new Uri($"{NotificationConfigurationManager.Configuration.TwilioVoiceApiAddress}ConnectVisitorCallback?{queryParams.GenerateQueryString()}"),
method: "POST");
if (lowSpeechConfidence)
{
gather.Play(new Uri($"{NotificationConfigurationManager.Configuration.TwilioVoiceApiAddress}GetSoundClip?siteId={siteId}&index=3"));
}
else
{
var sayName = new Say(voice: Say.VoiceEnum.Man).SsmlProsody(queryParams.SpacedName, rate: "30%");
var sayPhone = new Say(voice: Say.VoiceEnum.Man).SsmlProsody(queryParams.SpacedPhoneNumber, rate: "30%");
gather.Play(new Uri($"{NotificationConfigurationManager.Configuration.TwilioVoiceApiAddress}GetSoundClip?siteId={siteId}&index=1"))
.Append(sayName)
.Play(new Uri($"{NotificationConfigurationManager.Configuration.TwilioVoiceApiAddress}GetSoundClip?siteId={siteId}&index=2"))
.Append(sayPhone);
}

The <Prosody> and other SSML commands are only supported when you use Amazon's Polly voices.
So where you have:
var sayName = new Say(voice: Say.VoiceEnum.Man).SsmlProsody(queryParams.SpacedName, rate: "30%");
You'll need something like
var sayName = new Say(voice: Say.VoiceEnum.PollyJoanna).SsmlProsody(queryParams.SpacedName, rate: "30%");
You can also set the default voice within your Twilio console.

Thank you for the response. What if we are not using Polly? Is there another way other than the periods and spaces to slow down the voice?

philnash, can you tell me if I was to cut Polly on, on our account, will it continue to operate with the code as described above or will I have to have the SSML methods already in code when the cut over is made or will the older style api calls still work as they did?

Polly voices work with all existing TwiML. You can then enhance it with SSML when you're ready.
