Amazon's Alexa can now whisper in your ear - techsqrd.com

Amazon released new features today to give the developers of Alexa skills the choice to add more excitement to Alexa's voice, and the ability to speed or slow her pace -- or even whisper. The new feature is available to Alexa skills makers in the U.S., U.K., and Germany and is delivered via Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) tags. Like Alexa skills, Google Assistant actions can also be created using SSML . Other SSML tags introduced for Alexa developers today include an expletive beep and a general interest tag. Tags introduced today are the latest initiative by Amazon to make Alexa more expressive.
