Hi there, I´m struggling with this, I want to spell out some names and surnames and I want it to do it without using dots or comas (a matter of time).
This is what I´ve tried for spelling and it works.
<spell>Jakobson</spell>
But it goes very fast, I want it slower, this is what I´ve tried but it continues slower for the rest of the text.
<spell> <rate speed="-20">Jakobson</spell>
Then I tried this. But it is not a valid code
<spell> <rate speed="-20">Jakobson</spell> </rate speed>
Can someone help me out, it is quite urgent!
URGENT. Spell out one word slower and continue regularly

Re: URGENT. Spell out one word slower and continue regularly
Hi, I am no expert, but have you checked to make sure your voices are SAPI5? Or set to SAPI5 in TextAloud?
As I understand it, tags are only utilized by SAPI5 voices. There is another forum post about it here: viewtopic.php?t=1694
Hope this helps. I'm a beginner, so apologies if it does not.

There is a problem with the rate end tag that would cause validation errors. Instead of
<spell> <rate speed="-20">Jakobson</spell> </rate speed>
try
<spell> <rate speed="-20">Jakobson</spell> </rate>
Does that work?
<spell> <rate speed="-20">Jakobson</spell> </rate speed>
try
<spell> <rate speed="-20">Jakobson</spell> </rate>
Does that work?

You'll find some information on tags in the TextAloud help. Click Help -> Contents, and look in the section "Working With Articles". This section includes help on the things you can do from the Insert Tags menu in TextAloud.
