Insert Inline Command

This is the help file for inserting Inline Commands under the Insert menu.

Inline Commands are special control codes enclosed in angle brackets, such as:
<Pitch:1.20>, <Pause:500>, <Dialect:Leeg>, etc.

These commands appear inside the document and control how the text is read, spoken, animated, or displayed. They affect reading behavior, voice parameters, animation effects, picture display, video playback, and many other features.

Inline Commands can be inserted manually or via the Insert → Inline Command menu.
