## Anatomy of a good text to speech script

A listener cannot skim back, so a script says one thing at a time and signals what comes next.

- A hook in the first sentence
- One idea per sentence, under about fifteen words
- Commas and full stops where the voice should pause
- Numbers, dates and abbreviations written as they are said
- A clear call to action at the end

## How long should a script be?

English speech runs at about 150 words, or 900 characters, a minute. A 15-second ad is about 40 words, a 30-second spot about 75, and a 60-second explainer about 150. Phone menus work best under 30 seconds per message.

## Script FAQ

### What makes text sound natural when read aloud?

Short sentences, punctuation where a speaker would pause, and numbers and abbreviations written the way they should be said. Reading the script aloud yourself once catches most problems.

### Can I use these scripts in my own projects?

Yes. Copy and adapt any script; you pay only the usual 1 credit per character when you turn it into speech.

### Why does the voice stumble over a word?

Unusual names, symbols and abbreviations are the most common cause. Spell them the way they sound, for example S-Q-L or sequel, and generate again.
