The app supports SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language), letting power users specify fine-grained control over pronunciation, pauses, prosody, and emphasis using XML-like markup. It includes batch conversion: users can select multiple .txt files and convert them into audio in one go, making it handy for large text collections or repetitive tasks. For long texts or big files, TTS-Vue automatically slices content into manageable segments, converts them separately, and then stitches them back into a single audio file, avoiding the usual length or timeout issues with TTS APIs.
