@Will To adjust the reading pace of digits and spell names with VAPI, you would typically need to modify the speech rate or add pauses in the text-to-speech (TTS) settings or within the speech synthesis markup language (SSML) that you're using to control the voice output. If you're using SSML, you can use the

<prosody>

tag to control the rate of speech for specific parts of your text. For example, to slow down the reading of digits or spelled-out names, you could wrap those parts of your text in

<prosody rate="slow">...</prosody>

tags. Here's an example of how you might adjust the speech rate for digits and names:

xml
<speak>
  This is a normal speaking rate, but the following digits will be slower: 
  <prosody rate="slow">1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0</prosody>.
  And here is a name spelled out slowly: 
  <prosody rate="slow">J O H N</prosody>.
</speak>

If you're not using SSML and are looking for a way to adjust the settings directly through VAPI, please provide more details or the specific commands you're using so I can assist you further. If there's a specific function you need to call to change these settings, please let me know, and I'll help you with the necessary steps.

@Will To adjust the reading pace of digits and spelled names in VAPI, you can modify the speech rate or add pauses around the specific segments of text that you want to be read more slowly. Here's how you can do it: 1. **Speech Rate Adjustment**: You can adjust the overall speech rate by specifying a slower rate in the text-to-speech (TTS) settings. This will affect the entire output, not just the digits and names. 2. **Strategic Pauses**: Insert pauses before and after the digits or names using SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language) tags. For example, you can use the

<break time="500ms"/>

tag to add a half-second pause. 3. **SSML Prosody Tag**: Use the SSML

<prosody>

tag to specifically slow down the rate of speech for digits and names. For example:

xml
   <prosody rate="slow">12345</prosody>
   <prosody rate="slow">John Doe</prosody>

Would you like to see an example of how to implement this in your code, or do you need assistance with something else?

@Will To adjust the pace at which VAPI reads digits and spells out names, you can modify the speech rate or add pauses around the specific segments of text that contain digits and names. This can typically be done by using Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) to control the speed and add breaks. Here's an example of how you might use SSML to slow down the reading of digits and names:

xml
<speak>
  This is a normal speaking rate, but when it comes to numbers like 
  <prosody rate="slow">123456789</prosody>, 
  and names like 
  <prosody rate="slow">John Doe</prosody>, 
  I will speak more slowly.
</speak>

In this example, the

<prosody>

tag is used to adjust the rate of speech for the enclosed text. You can replace "slow" with a specific percentage to fine-tune the speed to your liking, such as

rate="50%"

for half the normal speed. If you need further assistance with implementing this or if you have specific requirements for your application, please let me know, and I'll be happy to help you further!
