'/' gets read as 'Divided by' in overdub?
Frameworks
Agreed! Better control of Overdub's "interpretation" of text is needed to convey creator's intent when rendering speech. That's why I'm backing Descript's use of the standardized, widely-used Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) tags to provide the control you're seeking over how Overdub generates speech from the text. I have proposed that feature request here and would greatly appreciate your mutual support!
