Playing a pause

The Pause audio item is a way to generate a pause (i.e. a element in VoiceXML). The duration of the pause must be specified with a Duration which has some factory methods.

Dialogue.java:

//Play a half-second pause
Message message = new Message("pause",
                              new SpeechSynthesis("This example shows how to"),
                              new Pause(Duration.milliseconds(500)),
                              new SpeechSynthesis("play a pause."));
DialogueUtils.doTurn(message, context);
