Looks like there are no update on this. The speed is playing an important role when you are expressing emotions.

Why do the topics with the most upvotes get ignored while other suggestions with 1-10 upvotes get completed :/ Given the popularity and amount of requests for this im shocked its not being worked on now.

yes! doing this with either text based timecodes/durations of lines would be awesome. We have the functionality for pauses, so why not have one made for pacing and speed? Slow down for some lines, speed up for others. all based on something like this

"Hey there everyone i hope everyone is having a good day<speech time="5.3s" />." something like this so that the AI knows it needs to complete that sentence within that timeframe. this would be a HUGE step up and a HUGE game changer to get 1:1 speeches from videos, transcriptions, translations, and more all from text.

I heavily agree with this. Especially with the addition of the other languages (more specifically with Japanese) They speak it so fast, even when the passage suggests that it's being spoken slowly.

This is super important to me and would be a huge benefit. All of the voices so far read too fast for my projects

This is a much-needed feature, without which it would be impossible to use, and I look forward to going live sooner

This would be a huge benefit for our project. Would love to be able to speedup the pace of the voice.

I would imagine this is the #1 highest requested feature. Improvements here would really draw further adoption in my opinion.

I would like to be able to control the speed of the voices, but also to minimize the average pause time in between phrases. I often think the phrase being spoken is over, when in fact it was just a very long pause.
