Amazon announced a long-form speaking style for news and music content within third-party Alexa skills, with more natural-sounding pauses, the style is intended for longer-form content like podcasts. The longform speaking style is available for US developers who want a reading voice that sounds more natural when reading long pieces of content, like articles or podcasts and storytelling portions of games. The new speaking style could improve experiences by making verbalized text sound more natural.
