. A great way to improve how these are read aloud is by preprocessing the text before sending it to the TTS engine. Here are some friendly approaches you might find useful:
1. Use SSML for Character-by-Character Pronunciation: You can wrap the identifier in SSML tags like <say-as interpret-as="characters">
so it’s read one character at a time. For example:
Your agent ID is <say-as interpret-as="characters">agent_12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012</say-as>.
2. Replace with Human-Readable Phrasing: Another friendly option is to use a callback function that swaps the identifier for a more natural, verbal-friendly phrase. For instance:
def before_tts_cb(agent, source):
if isinstance(source, str):
return source.replace("agent_12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012", "agent, followed by one two three four five six seven eight, dash, one two three four, dash...")
return source
3. Use Phonetic Pronunciation Tags: If your TTS provider supports phonemes, you can gently guide how the text is pronounced by using phonetic spelling.
4. Leverage the tts_node
in v1.0+: This feature lets you modify text or audio with more flexibility, which can really help with tricky pronunciations.
These methods can really make a difference in clarity and help avoid those frustrating mispronunciations. Please feel free to reach out if you'd like me to walk you through implementing any of these solutions—I’m happy to assist!
