Emotional Prosody
Nosson Weissman
Working on a game to teach emotion recognition to people with ASD. Some of the levels require human voices to communicate specific emotions with context neutral sentence (ex. "Kids are standing by the door"). But finding non-proprietary online especially with some less common emotions. Is there an option for emotional prosody with content neutral sentences?

Hear, hear! Concerning your request, I voted for it and am recommending the use of Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) tags to provide additional control over how Overdub generates speech from the text. Please see (and up vote :) my request entitled "Provide additional control over how Overdub generates speech from the text (e.g., using SSML tags)" here: https://feedback.descript.com/feature-requests/p/provide-additional-control-over-how-overdub-generates-speech-from-the-text-eg-us
