	'voice' => 'zh-CN-YunxiaNeural',
	'text' => '在春天，花园里充满了五颜六色的花朵和鸣禽。 古老的橡树为访客提供阴凉，而蝴蝶在玫瑰丛中跳舞。 一个小小的喷泉发出宁静的声音，使这里成为放松并享受大自然美丽的完美场所。'

scene.addElement({
	"type": "voice",
	"model": "azure",
	"voice": "zh-CN-YunxiaNeural",
	"text": "在春天，花园里充满了五颜六色的花朵和鸣禽。 古老的橡树为访客提供阴凉，而蝴蝶在玫瑰丛中跳舞。 一个小小的喷泉发出宁静的声音，使这里成为放松并享受大自然美丽的完美场所。"

Yunxia 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": "zh-CN-YunxiaNeural",
    "text": "<speak>Hello, <break time="500ms"/> how are you today? <emphasis level="strong">This is important!</emphasis></speak>"
}

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

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

Yunxia supports different voice styles

As part of SSML, you can use the style tags to change the voice style.

Yunxia supports these styles: angry calm cheerful fearful sad

{
    "type": "voice",
    "voice": "zh-CN-YunxiaNeural",
    "text": "<whispering>I have a secret for you</whispering>"
}

$scene->addElement([
	'type' => 'voice',
	'voice' => 'zh-CN-YunxiaNeural',
	'text' => '<whispering>I have a secret for you</whispering>'
]);

scene.addElement({
	"type": "voice",
	"voice": "zh-CN-YunxiaNeural",
	"text": "<whispering>I have a secret for you</whispering>"
});

Yunxia 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
