Reproduce the problem briefly

Use a short test instead of regenerating the whole document. A useful test case here is: A story containing an invented place name. Keep a copy of the original so every edit is reversible. Note what you expected to hear and what you actually heard.

The starting pointNames and specialist vocabulary deserve a short preview before you render an entire document.

Check the source first

  1. 01

    Inspect the input

    Test the name in a short sentence. Compare the affected passage against the original document.

  2. 02

    Change one thing

    Use a spoken-friendly spelling in a separate listening copy if needed. Keep the rest of your settings unchanged so this is a fair test.

  3. 03

    Listen again

    Keep the original spelling in the source document. Use the same sentence to decide whether the change improved the result.

Retest before replacing a recording

When the short test works, apply only the successful change to the longer note. If it still fails, write down the file type, the selected voice, and the exact step where the problem occurs. Those details make a support request more useful.

A story containing an invented place name. Keep that example as a quick reference for your next session, and revisit the original whenever exact detail matters.
