This page gives you an overview of all your announcements available within the TENIOS customer portal. You can play listen to your announcements, edit them or add a new one. The button Add new announcement leads you to the configuration page. In addition to the upload from file you can also use our TTS-service: Text-to-speech is the generation of synthesized speech from text. You can convert texts into audio files. To do this, select “Text-to-Speech” in the submenu. You can create announcements in 18 different languages and also choose between male and female voices in different variations. Adding SSML tags to the input text gives you more control on how language output is generated. We support the following SSML tags: The following table gives you an overview of all voice variants available in the TENIOS customer portal. The voices for which the tags <long> and <phoneme> are available are marked accordingly.
