Overdub Configure Pauses For Punctuation.

If there were a way to configure a hard coded pause length for periods, vs commas that would be really useful. I would go in the settings and set periods to .5 seconds, commas to .5 seconds, and other people could have their own preferences configured too.

Pauses/Break After Each Dot (Option)

Please insert a default option to set a costume pause length after each dot. I know you have your "gap insert function" but looking at the provided image should make clear this is not what I refer to.
Best regards

Set Default Punctuation TIming

I find that I am constantly extending the pauses between sentences to get my AI narrator to slow down. A feature to set a custom default timing would be nice (for example, setting the pause after a period to a .5 sec by default). It would be above and beyond to give a variance option, such as, setting the pause after a period to a range of .5 to 1 sec. Then allowing it to randomly assign a pause length in that range to each sentence. This would break up the speed and monotony to better reflect the pauses that might occur in natural speaking.

Increase Word Gaps

I need to slow the pacing of my overdub and this seems like a simple feature to add.

Feature Request: add delay button

Feature Request: An add delay button (like in Talkia).
Sometimes the ai voices don't pause long enough (audio scripts) at the respective punctuation marks. An 'add delay button' that lets you add some seconds in between any word or syllables you fancy would be a great solve!

Overdub Word Gaps

Designate special characters that I can insert into my script so I can set the word gaps. Also, allow configuration of the word gaps after a period in the settings. Create a new area called Overdub settings where these settings can be set. Finally, the last item in a bullet list needs more of a gap before the text in the following paragraph starts.

The ability to add word gaps after every period, but all at one time to add multiple word gaps at once.

randomly variable spaces/pauses between sentences

This is the major difference between a natural sounding overdub and something that sounds AI generated. The pauses we use between sentences are not always the same amount of time. They should be variable so the recording does not start to drone

It’ll be amazing if I found a feature that uses AI that adds gaps into my recording! I make meditation videos and they take forever mostly because I have to pause between sentences a lot so if there was an AI who could intuitively add pauses of 10 or even 20 seconds sometimes that would make my work so much easier. I know I can also clone my voice, but the quality is just not there, yet, for my unique voice with accent.
