- Pronunciation: Test names and difficult words first.
- Final playback: Listen to the complete exported piece.
Optional extension

- Server worker: Protect API keys
- ElevenLabs API: Generate the audio
- Listening review: Approve the take

Lean starter
ElevenLabs + an approved script + one editor. A licensed library voice is enough for a first useful narration task.
Example
Lesson script → short pronunciation sample → approved narration → mix beneath visuals → verify captions and timing.
