> no custom SSML

I believe this used to be available for edge tts, very sad to see they removed it.

If anyone knows of comparable projects that implement something like SSML please do share.

While technically the library could continue supporting custom SSML, I ended up removing it because keeping the support was pointless. The API stopped allowing anything other than the basic tags used by Microsoft Edge itself (i.e., prosody for rate/volume/pitch, voice, etc).

As for comparable projects, you can use Azure's offerings instead. They have a free tier that's really generous.

Fair point! I should have clarified I'm disappointed that Microsoft removed the capability from the api.
