How do I input SSML in Google TTS? (C#)
I have been using the sample C# code provided by Google to familiarise myself with Google TTS. I want to input ssml, but I can't work out how to do this. If someone could tell me what line(s) of code I need to change, then I would be very grateful.
I tried changing 'Text' to 'SSML' below but this didn't work. I also tried using SSML tags in the inputted text and this didn't work either.
I have looked through the relevant Google SSML documentation, but I can't work out what I'm doing wrong.
using Google.Cloud.TextToSpeech.V1;
using System;
using System.IO;
namespace TextToSpeechApiDemo
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string args)
{
var client = TextToSpeechClient.Create();
// The input to be synthesized, can be provided as text or SSML.
var input = new SynthesisInput
{
Text = "This is a demonstration of the Google Cloud Text-to-Speech API"
};
// Build the voice request.
var voiceSelection = new VoiceSelectionParams
{
LanguageCode = "en-US",
SsmlGender = SsmlVoiceGender.Female
};
// Specify the type of audio file.
var audioConfig = new AudioConfig
{
AudioEncoding = AudioEncoding.Mp3
};
// Perform the text-to-speech request.
var response = client.SynthesizeSpeech(input, voiceSelection, audioConfig);
// Write the response to the output file.
using (var output = File.Create("output.mp3"))
{
response.AudioContent.WriteTo(output);
}
Console.WriteLine("Audio content written to file "output.mp3"");
}
}
}

The solution is very easy. Change your section of code:
var input = new SynthesisInput
{
Text = "This is a demonstration of the Google Cloud Text-to-Speech API"
};
To this:
var input = new SynthesisInput
{
Ssml = "<speak>This is a demonstration of the Google Cloud Text-to-Speech API.<break time="1s"/>This API is very easy to use.<break time="1s"/><say-as interpret-as="characters">SSML</say-as>is also easy to use.</speak>"
};
