Reproduce the problem briefly

Use a short test instead of regenerating the whole document. A useful test case here is: A budget table rewritten as category, amount, and change. Keep a copy of the original so every edit is reversible. Note what you expected to hear and what you actually heard.

The starting pointTables communicate relationships visually. Audio needs those relationships expressed in words.

Check the source first

  1. 01

    Inspect the input

    Identify the comparison the table is meant to show. Compare the affected passage against the original document.

  2. 02

    Change one thing

    Rewrite each important row as a complete sentence. Keep the rest of your settings unchanged so this is a fair test.

  3. 03

    Listen again

    Summarize the pattern before reading all the values. 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.
