SSML tags are not supported (just one is supported).
Regarding the partials – I will check this. Some people already reported this. could you try deactivate plugin and active it again? One person wrote that it fixed the problem. Please let me know if it helped or not.

Hi!
In text-to-speech configuration page exists an option “Enable SSML support”, because of that I thought there was SSML support. The problem is that the plugin is reading abreviations like a word, and not spelling the letters. The <sub> tag could be usefull.
Other problems: pauses (sometimes it read everything together) and period (it read “dot”).
Well, talking about the main issue on this topic: I did what you said ( deactivate plugin and active it again). It worked on the first audio generation, but if you update the post again, the issue appears again.
I hope it could help you!
Best regards,
Claudio Pacheco

Hi again!
Sorry, but I’ve tried deactivate plugin and activate it again and it didn’t work.
Maybe it’s worked because I waited a lot of time between two updates. I believe if I try again in a few hours, it could work. Maybe de answer to the bug is there.
I am also having this issue, but I’m not using any tags. The plugin randomly starts my audio file somewhere in the text. Sometimes in the middle, sometimes at the beginning, other times at the end and then wraps back around to the beginning. It’s almost becoming unusable. It’s a bit worrisome considering I know many of my readers struggle with dyslexia etc.
Are there any ideas beyond deactivating and reactivating this plugin?

Unfortunately deactivating and reactivating the plugin is not working for me.
Each time I update the post (with no changes) it create a new audio version, starting in a different part of the text (and sometimes mixing some parts).
It’s very very annoying.
I’ll be forced to uninstall it, at least until a solution for this (serious) issue.

Maybe I’ve found the bug. The plugin call Polly API to make the audio conversion for each paragraph. The problem is that these API calls are not synchonized. So the some responses arrive before others and it saves in that order.
I’ve made some changes in code to make the plugin works in my website, but it’s not the best way to solve this issue. Definetively it’s not the final solution.
If there is an e-mail I can write to a the plugin developer, I can send what I’ve found and what I did.

@clapac I have the exact same issue. I’m very interested to know what your workaround was even if I have to hard code the solution temporarily. Thank you.
Hi all,
I will sit on it next week and introduce the fix.
Hi all,
I have got a problem, because I’m not able in any away to replicate those problems. I have released 3.0.3 version of the plugin – where I have added more detailed logging. If anybody have got such problem, you will need to help me a bit by:
1) Ensuring that you have got debug mode enabled on your WordPress.
2) Enabled detailed logging on plugin (there is checkbox on General tab).
3) Convert an post
4) Send me (my email above):
– information which post was generated incorrectly – link would be great.
– if I could get also the content of the post it would be great
– your wordpress log (the part generated by plugin would be sufficient).
– Information which WordPress version are you using.
It seems that there is something wrong with the latest WordPress version – which is causing the problem and the logic which is responsible for creating the audio is being activated two times – which is making some parts of audio to be mixed. I will work on finding the way to solve the problem with generating audio two times, but at lest for now I have created a workaround for mixed audios – which should fix the problem. Let me know if the problem will be still there.
