How to customize silence time between sentence groups in Azure Text to Speech

Question

I am trying to reduce the gap between two sentence groups in Text to Speech in Azure console. The gap between sentences can be reduced by specifying sentenceboundarysilence i.e. sentenceboundarysilence="5ms", but I don't know how to customize silence between sentence groups(as shown in below image). Basically, I want to specify the duration between the first sentence group (ending with "best game ever") and the second sentence group (starting with "Reason number one")

Answer 1

Have you tried using the "break" tag? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/Speech-Service/speech-synthesis-markup-structure#add-a-break

Like it says in the "Add Silence" section:

One of the differences between mstts:silence and break is that a break element can be inserted anywhere in the text. Silence only works at the beginning or end of input text or at the boundary of two adjacent sentences.
