Step 1: Write Conversationally
Avoid writing formal textbook text. Instead, write as if you are speaking directly to a student in a classroom.
Use words like "we will learn" and "let's look at" to make the audio version sound engaging.
Step 2: Use Phonetic Spelling for Technical Terms
If you have uncommon acronyms or highly technical terms, spell them phonetically in your script if the AI struggles with pronunciation (e.g., writing "S-Q-L" or "Sequel" based on preference).
Pre-listen to snippets before rendering the full lecture.
Step 3: Select the "Lecture & Concepts" Preset
In the AI Narrator sidebar, select the "Lecture & Concepts" preset.
This preset uses a clear, neutral, and moderate-speed voice profile designed to help students absorb and retain information.
Step 4: Split Content by Slide or Section
For slide-based courses (like Articulate Storyline or Adobe Captivate), generate and export audio in short paragraph-sized chunks.
This makes it easy to sync individual audio files with your visuals.
Accessibility First: Providing a downloadable audio file alongside written course notes is a key requirement of WCAG compliance, making your course accessible to visually impaired and auditory learners.
