Microsoft Azure AI Engineer Associate AI-102 Practice Question
You are working on an Azure AI Speech solution that reads out order status updates. After testing, you decide to insert a half-second pause after the word "ship" so the sentence sounds more natural. You already use the neural voice en-US-AriaNeural. Which SSML element should you add immediately after the word "ship" to achieve the required pause?
The SSML element is specifically designed to insert a silence in the spoken output. By setting the time attribute to 500 ms (or 0.5 s), you create the required half-second pause before the synthesizer continues. A tag controls pitch, volume, or speaking rate but does not introduce silence. The mstts:silence element is intended for adjusting predefined silence at sentence or paragraph boundaries, not for inline pauses. The element modifies stress on a word and also does not generate a break.
