Kokoro-iOS needs basic emphasis support
For example, all of these produce exactly the same result:
- You, without help, got the best outcome
- You, without help, got the BEST outcome
- You, without help, got the best outcome
- You, without help, got the BEST outcome
- You, without help, got the best outcome

Replied Issue
In the hexgrad/kokoro repo, there's a related open issue for adding SSML support. In that repo, someone replied, saying you can slightly adjust things, like this:
💡 Customize pronunciation with Markdown link syntax and /slashes/ like `[Kokoro](/kˈOkəɹO/)`
--
💬 To adjust intonation, try punctuation `;:,.!?—…"()“”` or stress `ˈ` and `ˌ`
⬇️ Lower stress `[1 level](-1)` or `[2 levels](-2)`
⬆️ Raise stress 1 level `[or](+2)` 2 levels (only works on less stressed, usually short words)
Using kokoro>=0.9.2 from Python, I tried this, and I can get a slight emphasis, like this:
You, without help, got the [best](+2) outcome. -- emphasizes "best".
However, this was not the case using kokoro-ios.

Workarounds?
Are there any workarounds or any way to add emphasis to words or phrases today?
If not, how tough would it be to implement any of the above?
Thanks!
