Trying out the Audio generation on Adobe Firefly browser. The options to add emotion and fix pronunciation are greyed out when I highlight a segment of text.

Copy / paste a script with time stamp brackets. Highlight one or two lines, the toolbar pops up but two options are greyed out.

    Hello ​@micaela_7832,

    Thank you for the screenshot — that is very helpful. The toolbar is rendering correctly and responding to your text selection, so this is not a UI bug.

    Fix Pronunciation and Add tone are greyed out because they require the underlying voice model to support fine-grained control over how individual words are pronounced and what emotional quality is applied to specific segments of speech. Not all voice models support this level of control.

    Based on testing, these controls are available when using the native Firefly voice model but are greyed out when using ElevenLabs voices, as Adobe has apparently not mapped ElevenLabs’ own controls to these toolbar options.

    Could you confirm which voice model you are using? You can see the model on the panel on the left:

    If you are on an ElevenLabs voice, switching to a Firefly voice should enable both Fix Pronunciation and Add tone.
