Supported SSML tags
The Text-to-Speech feature in Pictory APIs supports the following SSML tags, with full or limited functionality depending on the underlying text-to-speech platform type.
Supported SSML Tags
<break>
<emphasis>

SSML tag support is divided into four categories based on the type of text-to-speech platform used for each speaker, as outlined below.
Category A
<break> - Supported
<emphasis> - Supported
<phoneme> - Supported
<prosody> - Supported
<say-as> - Supported
Category B
<break> - Supported
<emphasis> - Not Supported
<phoneme> - Supported
<prosody> - Speakers in this category support the volume and rate attributes but do not support the pitch attribute.
<say-as> - The characters option is not supported by speakers in this category.
Category C
<break> - Supported

The <emphasis> tags should only be used around a full sentence. Enclosing words within a sentence may cause unwanted pauses in speech.
This element supports an optional "level" attribute with the following valid values:
- strong
- moderate
- none
- reduced
e.g. <emphasis level="moderate">This is an important announcement</emphasis>
<phoneme> - Supported
<prosody> - Supported
The <prosody> tags should only be used around a full sentence. Enclosing words within a sentence may cause unwanted pauses in speech.
e.g. <prosody rate="slow" pitch="-2st">Can you hear me now?</prosody>
<say-as> - Supported
Category D
<break> - Supported
<emphasis> - Not Supported
<phoneme> - Supported
<prosody> - Not Supported
