On the record
The top British grade on the published list
Among the eight British voices on the list, only Imogen reaches the 10 to 100 hour band; the rest sit at minutes or a few hours and grade C or D. That is the basis of her B-: more and cleaner data.
Our note points her at courseware and mentions a steady pace, which is what a module wants. Her pronunciation stays British in any blend.
Length the engine likes. The published guidance puts the sweet spot at roughly 100 to 200 tokens, a few sentences; very short lines are the weak spot and very long ones can rush.
Where we would use it
Courseware, lessons, and long instructional reads
Book excerpts and openings
Non-fiction reads where the listener needs the facts at a steady pace.
A British primary for blends
Because pronunciation comes from the first voice, Imogen keeps every blend British while borrowing timbre from any second voice.

A cross-language blend: Imogen keeps the pronunciation, the second voice only lends its timbre.
Every blend works the same way: the first voice sets the pronunciation and pacing, the second voice lends only its timbre, and you choose the ratio between 10 and 90 percent. See the three steps on the voice library page

FAQ
Questions about Imogen
Does blending Imogen with an American voice change her accent?
No. The primary voice decides pronunciation, so Imogen stays British; the American second voice contributes timbre only.
Why is Imogen graded B- when other British voices are C or D?
The published list grades training data. Imogen has the largest band, 10 to 100 hours, with B target quality; the other British voices have minutes or a few hours.
Is Imogen suitable for learners at slower speeds?
Try 0.9 times. Our note describes a steady pace, and the published guidance suggests speed changes mainly to stop long utterances rushing; listen before going slower.
Can I use Imogen in a course I sell?
Yes. Standard voice output is licensed for commercial use on every plan, without attribution or a watermark.
