Tip:- If the text in your dialogue does not indicate certain emotions, you can try surrounding it with a character-acting quote. For example, He said with joy: "That is amazing!".
- Type out the words for the numbers if you want the avatar to speak it in a certain way.
- All capitalized words are spoken in a certain way. For example, POC will be spoken as Pee-Oh-See, but poc will be spoken as pock.
- A lowercase s after abbreviations, for example, PDFs, will be spoken as the s sound rather than es. Another example, POCi, will cause the word to be spoken as posi rather than Pee-Oh-Si. Add a dash between letters, for example, P-O-Ci, to get the intended speech.
