Meaning
Speech Synthesis Markup Language is a structured way to request supported pronunciation, pauses and other speech behaviors from a compatible synthesizer.
A practical example
A production workflow might mark a pause around an abbreviation after confirming that the chosen service accepts the relevant markup.
What to check
SSML support varies by engine. Do not paste markup into a plain-text-only workflow and assume the tags will be interpreted rather than spoken.
For a related planning or text task, open the free workflow tool. The tool has its own limits; its result is not a measurement or approval of every concept described here.
