Interface BreakOptions

Configuration options for break/pause elements.

Defines pauses in speech either by strength (semantic) or explicit duration. If both are specified, time takes precedence.

Example

// Using strength
const breakByStrength: BreakOptions = {
  strength: 'medium'  // 750ms pause
};

// Using explicit time
const breakByTime: BreakOptions = {
  time: '500ms'
};

strength?: BreakStrength

Semantic strength of the pause.

Each strength corresponds to a typical pause duration:

x-weak: 250ms (very short)
weak: 500ms (short, like a comma)
medium: 750ms (default, like a period)
strong: 1000ms (long, like paragraph break)
x-strong: 1250ms (very long, for emphasis)

Ignored if time is specified.

Example

"medium"

Example

"strong"

`Optional`time

time?: string

Explicit duration of the pause.

Specified in milliseconds (ms) or seconds (s). Valid range: 0-20000ms (20 seconds max) Values above 20000ms are capped at 20000ms.

Takes precedence over strength if both are specified.

Example

"500ms" - Half second

Example

"2s" - 2 seconds

Example

"1500ms" - 1.5 seconds
