Three samples, three registers
- A slow harbor line; listen for how an instruction voice reads a descriptive sentence.
- The hook with a three-hour saving in it; listen for how the numbers are read, since instructions are full of quantities.
- A personal letter line; listen for how the aside after the comma is set apart.
About this voice
Instructions, and the pauses that make them followable
An instruction script lives on its pauses. The engine gives about four tenths of a second at a comma or full stop, and a pause tag inserts more where a viewer needs time to act. Captions are cut at those same pauses, so one step per line gives one cue per step.
Readings matter more here than in narration: 行 as a table row, 长 as length, 重 as again. Run Tidy up script or add the Pronounce as tag and every step gets the reading you mean.
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 Yuwen
How do I add a pause before each step?
Insert a pause tag at the start of the line, or end the previous line with a full stop for the engine's own pause. Longer pauses are cut into the audio as real silence.
Will the captions match my step list?
Yes. One step per line gives one cue per step, anchored to the pause between them and cut at 16 characters a line.
Can Yuwen read the English in a mixed script?
Yes. Text is split by writing system before synthesis, so app names and button labels in Latin letters are read as English inside the Mandarin.
Can I try Yuwen in a blend?
Yes. The widget lets you try the pairings above, free and without signing in. You can save the ones you like in this browser.
