Best Practices

• Match voice to content - Professional voice for business, casual for social

• Use punctuation - Control pacing with periods and commas

• Keep sentences short - Easier to generate and sounds more natural

• Test different voices - Same text sounds different across voices

• Adjust speed - Slightly slower often sounds more natural

• Break long content - Process in chunks for consistency

Use Cases

• Voiceovers - Video narration, commercials

• Audiobooks - Full book narration

• Podcasts - AI hosts and guests

• E-learning - Course narration

• Accessibility - Screen reader content

• IVR - Phone system messages

• Content localization - Translate and voice
