Step by step

Here’s how to do it

Work through these steps in order. Your notes stay on this page until you copy them; nothing runs automatically.

Some steps have no reviewed tool yet. Those steps show a manual approach.

What you’ll need
  • A clear brief and acceptance criteria.
  • Source material, accounts and assets you are authorised to use.
  1. Write your brief

    1. Write the final script, language, intended tone and any pronunciation notes.
    2. Gather the notes or assets you can use. Remove private information you cannot share and confirm permission for any source material.
    Example brief
    A calm, friendly 20-second welcome for a fictional community library. Use a voice you have permission to use. Script: Welcome to the reading room. Take a seat, choose a book, and make yourself at home.
    Start with
    The objective and proposed source material.
    You’ll have
    An approved brief and authorised inputs.
  2. Create a short voice sample

    1. Choose a speech tool with a voice you are allowed to use. No evidence-qualified tool is assigned here; check the current official guide and usage rights.
    2. Paste a short checked script into the documented speech feature. Choose the supported voice and language, then generate a sample.
    3. Listen before generating the whole script. Correct pronunciation or pacing using only controls the tool actually provides.
    Review tools before choosing one
    Start with
    The approved brief and authorised inputs.
    You’ll have
    A speech preview for review.
  3. Check the finished result

    1. Listen to the entire exported recording. Check names, pauses, volume and whether the voice is suitable.
    2. Confirm voice permissions and any disclosure needed for its use. Save the checked audio.
    Start with
    A speech preview for review.
    You’ll have
    An accepted output or a clear list of corrections.

0 of 3 step checks complete. A person has checked the output against the brief and accepted the result.

Before you share or switch it on
  • Compare the result with the brief and the original material.
  • Correct errors and check that you have permission to use the result.
  • Save a checked version before deciding whether to share or activate it.
