[Feature request] [SSML] Manual Stress Control

[Th3rdSergeevich]

The following FR is applied mostly to XTTS, but it could be extended to other multilingual models.

🚀 Feature Description

In non-English models (i.e. Russian) stress could be assigned incorrectly. In some cases it could drastically alter the word meaning. For instance, the word "замок" is a homograph that has two meanings depending on stress: "за́мок" (a castle) or "замо́к" (a lock). Currently there are no means of determining the right stress placement according to context.

Solution

An implementation of Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) would help mitigating this issue without the need for retraining existing models.
