|---|---|
builder.AppendSsmlMarkup("<say-as interpret-as = \"characters\"> chair </say-as>"); | |
 Note |
|---|
The string used as an argument to AppendSsmlMarkup(String) cannot include a speak element. |
When using AppendSsmlMarkup(String) to specify inline pronunciations in a phoneme element, you can use phones from any of the following phonetic alphabets, provided that the current speech engine supports it:
International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)
Universal Phone Set (UPS)
SAPI Phone Set
Any SSML-compliant speech engine will speak phones from the IPA.
You can also append a file containing SSML markup using the AppendSsml(XmlReader) method. To append text to be spoken that is not formatted with markup language, use one of the AppendText()()()(), AppendTextWithAlias(String, String), AppendTextWithHint()()()(), or AppendTextWithPronunciation(String, String) methods.
