Narration Instructions
We've recently added a powerful new feature that gives you more control over how your AI content is narrated. The Voice Instructions feature allows you to:
Provide specific pronunciation guidance for technical terms, acronyms, or names
Adjust the pace, tone, and emphasis of the narration
Add pauses at strategic points for better comprehension
Customize the emotional delivery of your content
Example Instructions For Technical Training:
Pronunciation: Pronounce "a11y" as "accessibility".
Pace: Slightly slower when explaining code examples.
Tone: Precise and instructional, like an expert developer guiding a colleague.
Pauses: Brief pause before each new technical concept to allow for processing.Example instructions For Leadership Training:
Tone: Authoritative yet friendly, like an experienced mentor.
Pace: Measured with pauses after key points.
Emphasis: Stress strategic concepts like "team alignment" and "delegation".
