yes exactly and I don’t want him to continue it, so I want the NPC to freeze at that moment while he’s talking and another section comes on
thank you for your help, you have been so kind! 
I don’t quite understand what you mean.
hello, could you please check as soon as possible if there is any anomaly in the character! even on convai the character does not say verbally everything between the speak tags in the narrative tree sections. It only says the first part and not the second even though in the chat the text appears! Is this behavior normal?. the character id is as follows:
Hello @lizzicorleo,
It works for me. Could you please test it on Convai.com?
Could you please test with OpenAI/Azure voices?
i have use for the test Onyx (Deep Young Masculine voice) OpenAi voce, But the full sentence is not said
Maybe I found the problem: if I put a period, it doesn’t read the whole sentence (<speak> On my count of three, we place our hands on the scanner. One, two, three please don't take your hand away until the mechanism has been activated.</speak>). But if I use a comma instead, it does (<speak> On my count of three, we place our hands on the scanner, one, two, three, I recommend you don't take your hand away until the mechanism is activated.</speak>). Maybe because the sentence is too long, when it reaches the period, it thinks it’s the end and stops the text-to-speech synthesis ?
