Hi, I am learning a language with Anki. I would like to add a TTS option that the Back Extra in a Cloze card is read. I followed the Text to Speech instructions under 6.1. of the Anki Manual but struggle to implement it. I prefer not to use Awesome TTS. Has someone a simple-to-follow step-by-step guide how to do it? ---

This should work in a basic Cloze note type with just {{Text}} and {{Extra}} fields: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/9/9ab21cf9292435f4d4a227d53d944e620b2031f0.png) ---

Thank you for your response. Doing that triggers this problem. ![Anki TTS](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/b/b0fff391f8d0d42737a51b85326eb37c5f1aa870.gif) ---

Try copying and pasting this: ```auto {{cloze:Text}}
{{Extra}} {{tts fr_FR voices=Microsoft_Hortense:Extra}} ``` ---

I wonder how to create a field. ![Anki TTS](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/a/a26ecd75cbc061b5923ea63af059c86e450e83b1.gif) ---

Sorry, change “Extra” for “Back Extra” in the template (or rename the “Back Extra” field to “Extra”) ---

Is that the correct way to adjust the speed? {{tts fr\_FR voices=Microsoft\_Julie:Back Extra:tts fr\_FR speed=0.8:Back Extra}} ---

Here you have the different options you can use with TTS, with examples: [https://docs.ankiweb.net/templates/fields.html?#text-to-speech](https://docs.ankiweb.net/templates/fields.html?#text-to-speech) The best way to learn Anki is to try yourself! 🙂 ---

Many thanks. I was only wondering if I added it correctly to the existing text in the brackets, separating it with “:”? ---

Hi, no problem, in your case, this should work: ```auto {{cloze:Text}}
{{Back Extra}} {{tts fr_FR voices=Microsoft_Hortense speed=0.8:Back Extra}} ``` ---
