Accelerate the rate at which the TTS engine pronounces

[zone24x7]

When pronouncing the text inside the following tag (text : "you entered 123456"), the rate at which TTS engine pronounces the digits (123456) is slow.
I need to accelerate the rate at which the TTS engine pronounces it.
Is there a way to accelerate the rate?

<prompt>
You entered,
<say-as type="acronym">
<value expr="123456"/>
</say-as>
<prompt>

Hello,

If you put spaces between each of the numbers the IVR system will read them individually and much more quickly:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<vxml version="2.1">
<form>
	<block>
		<prompt>
			You entered, 1 2 3 4 5 6.
		</prompt>
	</block>
</form>
</vxml>

If you are collecting the data from the user and want to read it back right away without passing it through your IVR application server you can use ECMAScript to modify the input string.

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<vxml version="2.1">
<form>
	<field name="userid" type="digits">
		<prompt>
			Please enter your user id.
		</prompt>
		<filled>
			You entered, <value expr="userid.replace(/(.)/g, '$1 ')"/>.
		</filled>
	</field>
</form>
</vxml>
