Tutorial steps
Click-by-click guides, the use our note names. One action per line, a pause tag where the cursor moves.

Brief tutorial steps are the use our note gives Jiahao, a Mandarin male voice for click-by-click guides and quick fixes. This page covers what a step-by-step script needs from him: English menu names read in place, numbers read cleanly, pause tags where the cursor moves and one caption per step.

About this voice
A tutorial step in Mandarin usually contains a menu name, a number and one verb. Latin menu names are read as English automatically and numbers read cleanly. For a verb with more than one reading, Tidy up script tags the intended one before you generate.
Captions suit tutorials well: one step per line gives one cue per step, anchored to the pause after the full stop, with lines capped at 16 characters so they fit a phone screen.
Length the engine likes. The published guidance puts the sweet spot at roughly 100 to 200 tokens, a few sentences per line.
