Thanks, Michael!

Your suggestion works.(there is a typo: !CDATA should be ![CDATA )

And following two ways also work:

       <action application="export"><![CDATA[args=<voice emotion="calm"><emphasis>This is to test our text-to-speech system.</emphasis></voice>]]></action >

this one uses single quote for data= and escape double quote:
<action application="speak" data='<voice emotion=\\"calm\\"><emphasis>This
is to test our text-to-speech system. </emphasis></voice>'/>


But it looks like the apostrophe would be removed by FS, e.g.
      <action application="speak" data="if I'm wrong, how about Miro's Cantina Mexicana?"/ >

From the FS terminal and log I see
    if Im wrong, how about Miros Cantina Mexicana?

Don't know yet how to keep the apostrophe.

How about using CDATA? Like this:

<action application="speak" data="${args}"/>

That's just off the top of my head so please tinker with it if it doesn't work on the first try.

Hi,

I'd like to add SSML tag to my TTS string. I am sure my TTS server
supports these tags.

In this example,

<action application="speak" data="<voice emotion="calm"><emphasis>This
is to test our text-to-speech system. </emphasis></voice>"/>

Whether I use <voice emotion="calm"> or <voice emotion=\"calm\">
FS complains:  unexpected closing tag </voice>

If I use single quote like <voice emotion='calm'>, FS starts ok but TTS
will read out the string of
<voice emotion='calm'>

And I notice that this string is still read out even if it is passed as
double quoted ( <voice emotion="calm"> ) through my ESL app.

Any advices for using SSML in unimrcp TTS string?

Many thanks!
