Remarks
The values in the PromptBreak enumeration represent a range of separation intervals (pauses) between word boundaries. The speech synthesis engine determines the exact duration of the interval. When a break is requested, one of these values is passed to the text-to-speech (TTS) engine, which contains a mapping between these values and the corresponding millisecond break values.
The value None represents the absence of a pause between word boundaries and can be used to remove a break where one would normally occur. The remaining values are listed in order of increasing durations for breaks.
