Hi - you can use SSML prosody tags in the text to control the speed.

This will not work with all voices though - so you may need to experiment. Here's an example -

You surround your text with the brackets as you see below - and it will speak slower.

<prosody rate="slow"> hello there 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 </prosody>

For more fine tuned control, use the following syntax (supported by a further subset of voices)

<prosody rate="-10%"> hello there 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9</prosody>

As noted - only a subset of the voices will respond. Supported voices include -

Kate

Paul

Julie

Bridget

Hugh

Ashley

James

Let me know how goes.

Hi Annie - Got it - I understand exactly what you are doing. So at the moment there is no space limit, but we will introduce such a limit at some point soon, that will prevent you from accumulating more than a handful of Scenes. The best solution is to purchase a paid account, where this functionality will not be limited. At $29 a year you will be all set. Hope this makes sense.

Hi Liz -

What you need to do is login to your account, goto "my Account" page, and disable automatic billing.

With auto-billing disabled you will no longer be charged and your account will expire in due course.

If you like us to take care of it for you, pls write a note to support@voki.com.

Regards

Gil

When you sign up for Premium Voki, you are asked for a credit card for automated billing.which you can cancel anytime. If you do not cancel, we have no way of guessing that you want your subscription stopped.

Cancelling auto-billing is simple.

- Login to your account

- goto the my Account page

- disable automatic billing.

or - write a note to support@voki.com and we will take care of it for you.

No reason is required, and we do not make it difficult for anyone to discontinue.

Why you got that impression is unclear - but I'll be happy to know more about it.

Others are invited to comment.

Regards,

Gil
