About this voice
An explainer voice and most of Instructional Mandarin
A short explainer covers one idea, a sentence or two per line, with a pause before the key step. Nell reads it in British English, and word-level captions track every word for viewers following along.
Our note keeps her on short explainers. The kept recipe borrows her instructional color under a Mandarin primary, which shows the timbre transfers; Ruoxi keeps the pronunciation.
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 Nell
Why is Nell in a Mandarin recipe?
Because the primary voice sets pronunciation and the second voice lends timbre. Ruoxi says every Mandarin syllable; Nell's 90 percent share adds an instructional color we liked.
What does Nell do best?
Short instructional explainers for a UK audience, by our note, plus an instructional color under Mandarin in a recipe we kept. Play her three samples to hear the explainer register.
How short should an explainer line be?
A sentence or two per line, which is the length the published guidance favors and the length a viewer can follow.
Are Nell's captions word-timed?
Yes. English voices, British included, report word timing during synthesis, so the SRT cues follow the read.
