What version of HA are you running? I am on 0.103.6. Wonder if this solution would work on that.

I’m running 0.117.1

Okay, mine is just returning an error.

Thanks this worked for me, using Alexa tts!

Yes it’s possible using Google. You can use an exclamation mark or question mark for a long pause. For a short pause, a comma or many other punctuation marks will do that.

Worked for me too; tried your ‘.6s’ and proved it by making it very obvious at ‘6s’. I too am on Alexa tts. Many thanks.
