Writing narration that sounds natural in text-to-speech

Write for the ear before using Text to Speech. Short sentences, clear transitions, and spoken versions of abbreviations are easier to follow than dense written prose.

Preview the audio and listen for awkward pauses, mispronounced names, numbers, and URLs. Put essential context before a long list, and use sentence breaks to guide rhythm. Keep a copy of the original script so you can compare revisions.
