Generate pauses in voice.
Good afternoon. I have recently subscribed to lingq, and imported a text of my own. I have generated voice for it. But it goes very fast between sentences.
I would like to know if there is a possibility to generate longer pauses between paragraphs and paragraphs, and even between sentence and sentence.
Thank you.

Sorry, but no. That's not possible for auto-generated audio.

Thanks.

Zoran, in the autogenerated audio (for the full lesson), it does sound like there's pauses at commas, so I'm wondering if it's not the case that it could also be for the sentences. I was thinking possibly the audio is getting generated sentence by sentence (and therefore the commas are paused naturally), but when the sentences are then stitched together, there's no pause put in between (if it doesn't work this way then ignore!). I think getting the sentence pause would make it quite a bit better (and it has improved a lot in 5.0 imo already).
Perhaps a different engine could be used? I know the one used in Edge Browser's immersive reader sounds very natural (at least for German and Spanish languages) and has more natural sounding pauses at commas and in between sentences.
