Remarks

Listed in order, from a break of length zero to the maximum break, the members of the PromptBreak enumeration are:

  • None

  • ExtraSmall

  • Small

  • Medium

  • Large

  • ExtraLarge

Starting with None, the values listed represent nondecreasing (conceptually, increasing) lengths of pauses between word boundaries. These values do not represent specific millisecond break values. When a break is requested, one of these values is passed to the text-to-speech (TTS) engine, which contains a mapping between these values and the corresponding millisecond break values.
