SPVACTIONS specifies the action that should be taken by the TTS engine for the text fragment with which it is associated.

<pre IsFakePre="true" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <strong>typedef enum SPVACTIONS { SPVA_Speak,</strong> <strong>SPVA_Silence, SPVA_Pronounce, SPVA_Bookmark, SPVA_SpellOut, SPVA_Section, SPVA_ParseUnknownTag } SPVACTIONS;</strong> </pre>

Elements

• SPVA_Speak
  The default value - the associated text fragment should be processed and spoken.
• SPVA_Silence
  There is no associated text string - the associated fragment was the result of a Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) break element, and a silence (of length specified in the associated SPVSTATE) should be inserted into the output stream.
• SPVA_Pronounce
  The associated text (possibly empty) is associated with an SSML phoneme XML element, and should be pronounced as specified in the associated SPVSTATE.
• SPVA_Bookmark
  The associated text fragment is the contents of a bookmark.
• SPVA_SpellOut
  Each character, other than white space, of the associated text fragment should be expanded as a word (for example, "word!" would become "w o r d exclamation point").  
• SPVA_Section
  Reserved for future use.
• SPVA_ParseUnknownTag
  The associated text fragment is an unknown XML tag that may be interpreted (or ignored) by the engine.
