Hey team! When i look at logs sometimes the model ouput is not exactly what is put into the voice input. I need it to be the same as the output from the llm, looks like there may be a prompt altering the output a bit can you confirm? For example I ask the model to respond with dashes between numbers like 5 - 5 - 5 but i notice when passed to the text to speech it is five five five and not including the dashes. I need dashes or other XML in their for eleven labs to correctly pronounce, say or pause, how can I do this? ---> https://elevenlabs.io/docs/product/speech-synthesis/prompting Thanks!

@AiTitus :) Hello! It sounds like you're encountering an issue where the formatting of the output from the language model isn't being preserved when passed to the text-to-speech (TTS) system. To ensure that the TTS system, such as ElevenLabs, correctly interprets the output with dashes or other SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language) tags, you'll need to make sure that the output from the language model includes these characters or tags as part of the response. If the model is currently set up to remove or alter these characters, you might need to adjust the prompt or the post-processing of the model's output to ensure that the desired formatting is maintained. This could involve modifying the prompt to explicitly instruct the model to include dashes or SSML tags, or it could involve a post-processing step where you add these elements back into the model's output before passing it to the TTS system. If you have control over the prompt or the post-processing logic, you can make these adjustments yourself. If not, you may need to reach out to the development team responsible for the voice pipeline to request these changes. If you need further assistance with this or have specific requirements for the SSML tags, please let us know, and we'll do our best to help you out!

Hey @AiTitus :) yes we do input formatting before passing it to the voice providers and dashes are replaced over there, If you disable voice formatting it may have a negative effect instead you can use

<break>-or-similar

from 11labs along with replacement plan to add the

"

post formatting. Do let me know if you have any questions.

how do i disable voice formatting?

Hey @AiTitus :) we have disable the quotes and voice formatting, can you try now?
