About this voice
A measured French read, and a note about pace
Our note on Elodie is short: French female, measured delivery. That means an even pace that suits narration, explainers and course videos. Word-level captions come with every job so each French word is stamped as she says it. The three samples above show her on a calm line, a hook and a story.
Measured delivery is our note, and it is about pace: an even, unhurried read. The two recipes we kept keep her at 30 percent, so her French pronunciation stays in charge while Delaney or Maya at 70 percent changes the color.
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 Elodie
What is Elodie best at?
A measured French read, by our note: narration, explainers and course videos at an even pace. Play the three samples, then try her under Delaney or Maya in the kept recipes.
Do the captions follow each word in French?
Yes. French returns word-level timing, so the SRT and WebVTT can highlight word by word as well as line by line.
Why do the kept recipes keep her at 30 percent?
Because the first voice controls pronunciation and pacing regardless of share. At 30 percent she still reads every word, while the second voice at 70 percent lends its timbre.
