Writing Scripts That Sound Natural with AI
Vois TeamTLDR:AI-optimized scripts use shorter sentences, explicit pause punctuation, phonetic spellings for unusual words, and clear emphasis marking. Write for the ear, not the eye.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add pauses to AI-generated speech?
Use punctuation: periods create full stops, commas create brief pauses, ellipses (...) create thoughtful pauses, and paragraph breaks create longer pauses between sections.
How do I make AI emphasize specific words?
Use italics (*word*) for emphasis in many TTS systems. Alternatively, place important words at sentence beginnings or ends where natural emphasis occurs.
