It’s often useful to insert pauses or silence in your speech. Silence tags allow you to do just that.

The tag format is [#s] or [#ms] where # is a number indicating how long you want the silence to be, and s and ms correspond to seconds and milliseconds respectively.

Examples:

The quick brown fox jumps over [1.2s] the lazy dog.

The quick brown fox jumps over [2s] the lazy dog. [500ms] The dog barks.
