    "text": "Pada musim semi, taman menjadi hidup dengan bunga berwarna-warni dan burung-burung bernyanyi.

$scene->addElement([
	'type' => 'voice',
	'model' => 'azure',
	'voice' => 'id-ID-ArdiNeural',
	'text' => 'Pada musim semi, taman menjadi hidup dengan bunga berwarna-warni dan burung-burung bernyanyi.

Ardi supports SSML

SSML stands for Speech Synthesis Markup Language. It's a way to add instructions to your text so that a Text-To-Speech (TTS) system knows how to read it aloud.

You use SSML like HTML, but for controlling speech. It helps you adjust things like: Pronunciation, Pauses, Pitch and Volume, Emphasis, Speaking Rate.

{
    "type": "voice",
    "voice": "id-ID-ArdiNeural",
    "text": "<speak>Hello, <break time="500ms"/> how are you today? <emphasis level="strong">This is important!</emphasis></speak>"
}

$scene->addElement([
	'type' => 'voice',
	'voice' => 'id-ID-ArdiNeural',
	'text' => '<speak>Hello, <break time="500ms"/> how are you today? <emphasis level="strong">This is important!</emphasis></speak>'
]);

scene.addElement({
	"type": "voice",
	"voice": "id-ID-ArdiNeural",
	"text": "<speak>Hello, <break time="500ms"/> how are you today? <emphasis level="strong">This is important!</emphasis></speak>"
});

Ardi is a neural voice

In Azure Cognitive Services, a Neural voice refers to a voice generated using neural network technology. This means the Text-To-Speech system uses advanced machine learning models to create more natural, human-like speech compared to traditional methods.

Key characteristics of Neural voices:

• More expressive and realistic
• Better at handling pitch, tone, and rhythm variations
• Sounds closer to how humans naturally speak
