Question about Alexa TTS with SSML on an Echo Show 8

Open CaptainSweatpants opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

This palette is by far my most used lately. All my alexa to node red flows are usually followed by a TTS SSML response. But on my Echo Show 8, the text is displayed on the screen as well (Through the Alexa Node-red skill); i like this feature as sometimes it’s loud in the room and i miss the audio response. The issue is the text is proceeded by 4-5 line breaks which starts the spoken text basically on the last line of the screen; to see the rest I’d have to manually scroll down — even with just 4-5 words.

Is this blank space being populated by remote2 or the node-red skill? Ive tried placing all the SSML code on a single line (thinking the tags and line breaks in the Template node i proceed the Alexa Routine (speak) node with might be the cause) but no dice.

Any ideas or other ways to accomplish this?
