Our hands-on notes
Used by our team
- We voiced the English versions of our shorts on the Starter plan ($6/month, from 2026-10).
- Typed currency amounts were split oddly ("1,257 won" became "one, two fifty-seven"); spelling amounts out in words fixed it.
- Only the sentence with the misread number needed regenerating, not the whole track.
