Zhiyuan, brief Mandarin report summaries, male
Zhiyuan is the Mandarin male our note assigns to brief report summaries, and the one recipe we kept with him is built for the same job: Mandarin report, with Marcus at 70 percent behind him, described in our note as a report-summary read from two male voices. His record is the standard Mandarin one, a D grade, C target quality, 10 to 100 minutes of audio.

Three samples, three registers
- A slow harbour line; listen for whether a summary voice stays even when the text is descriptive rather than factual.
- The hook with three hours and ten seconds; listen for how the figures are read, since summaries are full of them.
- A personal letter line; listen for whether the register loosens at all outside a report.
On the record
A report voice, and the two-male recipe built around it
Report summaries are dense with numbers, dates, and names, and that is where Tidy up script matters most: the engine takes the most frequent reading, so 一行 in a table comes out xíng unless told háng.
Mandarin report keeps Zhiyuan at 30 percent and Marcus at 70. Marcus is our English report-summary voice, graded D as well; Zhiyuan's share sets the pronunciation and Marcus changes the weight.
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
Summaries, briefings, and figures read plainly
Number-heavy scripts
Tables and totals read aloud. Run Tidy up script first so multi-reading characters such as 行 and 长 get the intended reading.

FAQ
Questions about Zhiyuan
How do I stop 一行 being read as xíng?
Sign in and run Tidy up script, which checks about fifty multi-reading characters against context, or wrap the word in the Pronounce as tag. The captions keep the original text.
What does the Mandarin report recipe change?
Only the timbre. Zhiyuan at 30 percent still reads every character; Marcus at 70 percent adds his weight. Our note calls the result a report-summary read from two male voices.
Are report figures read correctly?
Digits and most units read cleanly. Preview any figure that must be read a specific way and tag it with Pronounce as if needed.
Why does the spec table say sentence-level captions?
Because Mandarin voices give no per-word timing; every cue sits on a real pause in the audio and lines are capped at 16 characters.
