How to choose and use them

  1. 01

    Loose for documentaries, tight for news

    Documentary narration wants a slower pace and longer pauses; news can run a little faster. Text to speech has speed and stability sliders for both.

  2. 02

    Fix names before you render

    Organisations, surnames and acronyms are what voices get wrong. Pin them once in a pronunciation dictionary and every render follows it.

  3. 03

    Long scripts in one job

    For a long documentary script, long-form audiobooks take up to 50,000 characters at once and return one continuous track and subtitle file.
