Using SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language) to edit speech in @Voice

I would like to change the full voice while reading without having to change it manually (i'm doing dialogue)
(example from en-gb-x-rjs#male_1-local to en-gb-x-rjs#female_1-local)
if it's possible is there a way to do that inside the html file ?

thanks for the quick response
2 more question:
 
I need to have numbers formated like this #-## for example 0-08 or 2-28 be read as zero-zero-eight or two-twenty eight, how should I do that ? I tried <say-as number:cardinal>0-08</say-as> and <say-as number:ordinal>0-08</say-as> but both gave me zero-oh-eight
and I don't really know were to put this one: for the text to speech saving file, can we have an option to save the filename as the table of content chapter name

ok, thank you for the regex support :)

UPDATE a few minutes after the original post: Did some testing right now, and found out that Google Text-to-speech voices no longer support SSML, or at least don't support <break> tag (I did not test others), or at least don't support them in Spanish language, as that was the ebook I was currently listening to. Instead it reads the tags literarily, as you said. As for Samsung TTS voice, it did not read the tags, but ignored the pause. The only voices that interpreted this tag correctly was Acapela TTS voice that I had installed on my phone.
 
Google cloud voices (Standard and WaveNet) do interpret <break> SSML tag correctly.

To answer I would have to know _exactly_ what you entered into this speech replacement, and what other speech replacements you have, as they may modify text in unintended ways, if used incorrectly. Try to disable ALL speech replacements that you have, except the one for comma pause, then edit again the comma pause speech replacement and enter EVERYTHING exactly as advised in the first post here, and making sure there are no extra spaces etc.
 
If you need more help afterwards, export all your speech replacements from the menu of "Edit speech" screen, then send me the exported files as email attachments, and describe the problem again in the body of the email message, as I get lots of emails and won't remember why this was sent to me otherwise.

The biggest challenge is that @Voice speech replacements work only within one sentence context (what @Voice highlights in yellow while it speaks. If your beginning quote is in one sentence, then there are multiple sentences inside that quote, any RegEx expression would not work. Similarly for italicized or bolded text, and here there are additional challenges, as styles of text may be defined in different ways in HTML code, for example: <b>Bolded text</b>, but it can be also <emphesis>Bolded text</emphesis>, or it can be done with CSS styles, like <p style="arbitrary-name">...</p> and so on. Similar for italics.
 
For "quoted text" also different styles of quote characters exist that would have to be considered. Some of them have distinct opening quote and closign quote characters, others use the same character for both.
 
For this purpose, rather a dedicated text processing program would have to be created, or maybe there are similar programs already existing that could be adapted.
 
For the simplest application, lets consider that the regular double quote character that you may type from the keyboard is used, and that BOTH the opening and closing double quote is present within the same @Voice "sentence" (yellow highlight). In this case the following RegEx replacement would work:
 
Type: Regular Expression (RegEx)
Pattern: (.*)(\".*?")(.*)
Replace: $1 {{VoiceName#p=1.25}} $2 {{VoiceName}} $3
 
The stuff in parenthesis are RegEx "capture groups" and you can refer to them with $number, so above $1 is what was in the first capture group (.*), $2 is the parenthesis and what was inside of them, and $3 is the trailer. This would replace this sample sentence:
 
This is "a test of" double quotes.
 
with:
 
This is {{VoiceName#p=1.25}} "a test of" {{VoiceName}} double quotes.
 
And note it would work correctly only for the first group of quoted text within that sentence. You could maybe extend this to two or max 3 groups within a sentence max.

EPUB and MOBI formats _are_HTML, internally. If you want to examine the internals of an EPUB, just open the EPUB file with any ZIP/UNZIP app or program and you will see internal files and folders in it, with .html or .xhtml contents of the ebook chapters. EPUB file is simply a ZIP file with a different extension, and some standarized contents internally.
 
For MOBI it's not that simple, but @Voice converts it to EPUB anyway to read it. You could copy the converted EPUB file from @Voice eBooks folder, or use e.g. Calibre program on a computer to convert them to EPUB.
