How to say out letters in PlainText mode?


Most of my speech output are simple text so I am using type: "PlainText" for my responses.

Is there a way to read out individual letters without resorting to SSML?

I tried "'I' 'D'" for Id but it didn't work.


Solution

  • Try these (they sound good to me in alexa en voices). Tested in https://developer.amazon.com/alexa/console/ask/test//en_US/: "Voice and tone".
