About this voice
A teaching note and two kept recipes
Give an opener a full sentence so the lesson starts on a complete thought. Welcome modules, learning objectives and unit introductions all start well that way.
Our note is about use, with lesson openers and training modules in mind. We kept her at 70 percent under Delaney for Course intro and under Weilun for the Mandarin version.
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 Nora
Why is Nora in the Mandarin Course intro recipe?
Because a second voice lends timbre and keeps the primary's pronunciation. Weilun says every Mandarin syllable and Nora's 70 percent share adds her color.
What speed suits learners?
0.9 times is a sensible start for learners. Listen once at that speed, then nudge the slider until the pace matches your class.
Can Nora read a whole course in one job?
Yes. Nothing caps the length. One credit makes up to 10 minutes of audio, and the result is one file with one continuous subtitle track.
Is Nora licensed for paid courses?
Yes. Standard voice output is cleared for commercial use on every plan, so a course you sell can use her without attribution.
