What is the Pause feature?

The Pause feature allows you to insert a pause of a customized duration within your text. This helps create natural breaks in the speech, making it easier to understand and more engaging.

You can edit the pause to a new value. Please ensure the pause is written in the correct syntax [pause Xs]:

  • X is the number of seconds.

  • Maxium value is 10 seconds (10s).
