Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use commas or line breaks for pauses?
Commas don't add pauses in Vois (for natural flow). Use periods for short pauses, line breaks for longer ones. SSML breaks give exact control.
Why doesn't the voice pause after 'Dr.' or 'Mr.'?
Vois recognizes common abbreviations and doesn't treat them as sentence ends. It knows 'Dr. Smith' is one phrase, not two sentences.
