About this voice
A tutorial voice for numbered steps
Tutorials live on figures and labels, so the second sample is the one to play: it shows how she reads numbers, the backbone of any numbered tutorial. Word-level captions then put each figure on screen as she says it.
Our note names one job, software tutorials that go step by step. That points at scripts full of menu names, button labels and numbered actions, which is also where the Pronounce as tag earns its keep.
Length the engine likes. The published guidance puts the sweet spot at roughly 100 to 200 tokens, a few sentences per line.
Where we would use it
