Good afternoon, now we have such lines in the assistant's promt for voicing numbers, etc. What is the best way to set up an assistant so that he pronounces special moments well, such as numbers and numbers and other moments? Thank you in advance for your help. Maybe there are special rules for promt to make the voice acting better? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1346883572505772044/1346883572765556848/IMG_1333.jpg?ex=67c9ce93&is=67c87d13&hm=6193cb65dca532b0b99a36e7189d9916fc0a0dcb4af1f83c136d9a5c583be5d9&

Good afternoon! 😊 To ensure your assistant pronounces numbers and special moments clearly and fluently, here are some best practices you can follow: ### 1. Voice Configuration - Adjust the voice settings to suit your use case. For clear pronunciation, especially in formal contexts, focus on optimal number formatting and system prompts. ### 2. Number Formatting - Use the
formatNumbers
function to control how numbers are pronounced. Set a high
numberToDigitsCutoff
to ensure numbers like "20,000" are read as "twenty thousand." Here’s an example configuration:
Copy code
json
   {
     "voice": {
       "chunkPlan": {
         "formatPlan": {
           "numberToDigitsCutoff": 100000
         }
       }
     }
   }
### 3. Using SSML - Enable Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) to manage pronunciation better. This allows you to insert specific tags for numbers and phrases, enhancing clarity. ### 4. System Prompt Optimization - Craft concise and clear system prompts. This helps the assistant understand the context better and respond accurately. ### 5. Error Handling - Implement error handling and fallback mechanisms to address any issues in conversation flow. This can help manage unexpected inputs effectively. ### 6. Testing and Adjustments - Test the configurations thoroughly and make adjustments based on user feedback to ensure optimal performance. By following these guidelines, you can enhance the fluency of number pronunciation and improve the overall voice acting of your assistant. If you have any specific scenarios or further questions, feel free to ask! 🎤 Sources: - [Best Practices for Setting Up Voice Prompts in VAPI](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1342824967833653268) - [Enhancing Fluency of Number Pronunciation in VAPI Voice Interactions](https://docs.vapi.ai/customization/speech-configuration)

Hey! To help track down this issue, could you share the following by making an test call with your current assistant config: - The call ID - What response you expected to get - What response you actually got instead This would really help us figure out what went wrong!
Why I am asking for test call is to understand your call nature, requirements and call language. So please make a test call and share the following with me in above format.
