text to speech pause

I would like to insert a small pause in TTS output , about 3 sec

is it possible ?

I tried some suggestions by googling

1. inserted up to 3 dots in sequence and then space
I feel it causes a very short pause, like a hesitation, but it's certainly below 1 sec

2. used ssml (speech markup) command <break time="3s"/>
but it's just spelled 😂

hi , it's kinda a solution but is not accurate, the pause is a big one, for example it's at least 1 sec even if I set the wait at 100 msec, seems there is some delay to start the TTS
for my current purpose it's a good workaround now but generally it's not an acceptable solution for the long term (especially for longer text with more pauses)
