ElevenLabs explains SSML tag support across its text-to-speech models
Overview
ElevenLabs says SSML, a W3C-rooted markup language, controls pauses, emphasis, pronunciation and pacing in synthesized speech.
In its blog post, the company says older models, including Multilingual v2, support the break tag for pauses up to three seconds. Flash v2 and Turbo v2 also support the phoneme tag for English pronunciation.
According to the same post, Eleven v3 and Eleven v4 do not support SSML. They use bracketed Audio Tags such as [whispering] and [sighs] instead.
