Hey guys, anyone got this tag working with elevenlabs and ssml?

*<break time="1.0s" />*

I got the ssml enabled and the -- pauses work ok but this break time not at all. Do you have to wrap certain type of text around it or should it work on any context?

Hey <@711501827522428950> , have you been able to use the 11labs markup at all?

Hey <@711501827522428950> you can use the ssml 11labs tags, here's how:-

```json
  "voice": {
    "provider": "11labs",
    "chunkPlan": {
      "formatPlan": {
        "replacements": [
          {
            "type": "exact",
            "key": "<break time=3s />",
            "value": "<break time=\"3s\" />"
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  ```

What happens is this replaces the key with value at the end of voice formatting so you still get to use ```<break time="1.0s" />```

Do let me know how it goes <@755064170285629561> and <@711501827522428950>

Hey <@865531204849500190>, that works! Thanks for pointing out this (new?) chunkPlan property, I wouldn't have found it since it's not in the `@vapi-ai/web` npm package yet
One thing I noticed is that when you use "exact" it replaces only the first occurence of the key. It's like someone forgot to add the /g flag to the regex, or used `.replace` instead of `.replaceAll` 
But when using `type: "regex"` it is replacing globally.

Hey <@755064170285629561> now you can use 11labs prompting without  replacement plan because we have disabled voice formatting for quotes and dashes.

Ok cool, and what is the role of the `enableSsmlParsing` option, does that still affect anything?

No it was because of voice formatting, nothing related to ssml.
