About this voice
A voice for procedures and lessons
Instructional scripts reward one step per line. Number the steps and add a pause tag between them; the word-level captions then show each step as she says it. Play the first sample to hear her on a plain descriptive line.
Our note is one line, instructional video scripts, which we read as procedures, lessons and how-it-works explainers. The three samples above let you hear how she reads each kind of line.
Length the engine likes. The published guidance puts the sweet spot at roughly 100 to 200 tokens, a few sentences per line.

FAQ
Questions about Elena
What kind of script suits Elena?
Instructional video scripts, by our note: procedures, lessons and how-it-works explainers. Play the three samples to hear how she reads each kind of line.
Can Elena read a numbered procedure cleanly?
Numbers read as spoken in English. To set how an abbreviation sounds, use the Pronounce as tag; for gaps between steps, use the pause tag.
Does a longer lesson cost more?
One credit makes up to 10 minutes of audio, and a longer script simply adds a credit per further block. The generator shows the count before you submit.
Do Elena's subtitles follow each step?
Yes. English voices report word timing during synthesis, so the SRT cues change on the spoken word rather than at guessed intervals.
