Can speech Synthesizer be programmed to read text more accurately

204 views Asked by At

I have a program that uses a SpeechSynthesizer by reading each sentence in a textbox. Is there a way to program the synthesizer to recognize the difference between a period and a question mark, in order to read the text more accurately?

If your system has a commercial TTS engine (that does the actual synthesis inside the SpeechSynthesizer class) then it should be doing this for you automatically. Even the most basic TTS system will honor commas, periods, question marks and exclamation points. Did you disable prosody somehow in your initialization?
