    <summary>Curated voices with a sample line each. English, French and Arabic first, and more languages when you need them.</summary>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Every voice in the library has a sample line, so you can hear a voice before you choose it. The library is curated, and community voices are labelled as such.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;English, French and Arabic first&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The studio puts English, French and Arabic at the top of its language list, because that is how many of us work. Choose the language of your script and the voices that speak it come first.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;h2 id=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;More languages&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The library also carries voices for Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese and more. The &lt;a href=&quot;https://neurawaves.example/showroom/languages/&quot;&gt;Showroom&lt;/a&gt; has a sample line for several of them. Native speakers have not reviewed these lines yet, so take them as a demonstration of the voice, not of the wording.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;s3&quot;&gt;Find the right voice&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Filter the library by language and by style, listen to each sample, then use the voice in your script. If no voice is quite right, describe the one you imagine with Voice Design.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;s4&quot;&gt;A note on community voices&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Arabic voices in the library are community voices, and they are labelled. If a line does not sound right, tell us on the &lt;a href=&quot;https://neurawaves.example/contact/&quot;&gt;contact page&lt;/a&gt;. It helps us curate.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <summary>Brackets, tags and pauses: how to tell a voice not only what to say, but how to say it.</summary>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;A script has words. A good script also has direction. In the studio you can tell a voice how to play a line, in plain words, right where it matters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;Directions in square brackets&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Put a direction before the sentence it applies to. With the Expressive model, write it like a note to an actor: &lt;code class=&quot;ltr&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[warm, unhurried]&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code class=&quot;ltr&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[curious, a little faster]&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code class=&quot;ltr&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[barely holding it together]&lt;/code&gt;. Directions are never spoken aloud.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;Wrap the words you mean&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To shape only some words, wrap them in a tag: &lt;code class=&quot;ltr&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;whisper&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code class=&quot;ltr&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;emphasis&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code class=&quot;ltr&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;soft&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code class=&quot;ltr&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;fast&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code class=&quot;ltr&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;slow&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;, closed with the matching &lt;code class=&quot;ltr&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;/...&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;. The tag affects only what is inside it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;s3&quot;&gt;Sounds and pauses&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Expressive can place a sound at an exact spot: &lt;code class=&quot;ltr&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[sigh]&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code class=&quot;ltr&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[small laugh]&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code class=&quot;ltr&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[shaky breath]&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code class=&quot;ltr&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[pause]&lt;/code&gt;. Standard has its own cues, such as &lt;code class=&quot;ltr&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[excited]&lt;/code&gt;, &lt;code class=&quot;ltr&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[whispering]&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code class=&quot;ltr&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;[break]&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;s4&quot;&gt;Five habits that help&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Use one direction per sentence. Two at once can fight each other.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Put it at the start of the sentence it describes.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Keep it short. A few words beat a paragraph.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Write some text after a sound, so the voice has something to say next.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Listen, then adjust one thing at a time.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;s5&quot;&gt;Writing for two voices&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For a conversation, give each speaker a name and write one line per turn. The studio&amp;#39;s dialogue view lets you pick a voice for each speaker.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;aside class=&quot;callout&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Open &lt;strong&gt;Directions&lt;/strong&gt; in the studio to browse every cue the current model reads, or hear more examples in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://neurawaves.example/showroom/tts/#directions&quot;&gt;Showroom&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/aside&gt;</content>

    <title>The Pro voice model is free until 5 Nov</title>

    <summary>Expressive, the Pro voice model, uses no credits until 5 Nov. Here is what it does, and what happens afterwards.</summary>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;For a limited time, the Pro voice model is free. Expressive is the voice that takes direction: it can play a line warm, curious, hushed or close to tears. Until &lt;strong&gt;5 Nov&lt;/strong&gt;, Expressive speech uses no credits in the studio.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;What is included&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Expressive speech in the studio, with directions, sounds and tags.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Any of the voices in the library that you choose for it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A daily limit still applies to each device, so a long script may have to wait until tomorrow.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;Hear the difference&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Same voice, same line. First Standard, then Expressive.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;Expressive is at its best when you give it a direction. The &lt;a href=&quot;https://neurawaves.example/showroom/tts/&quot;&gt;Showroom&lt;/a&gt; lets you switch between a plain read and a directed one while the audio plays.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;s3&quot;&gt;What happens after 5 Nov&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Expressive stays. After the offer ends it uses credits, like any other speech, and Standard remains the everyday choice. The &lt;a href=&quot;https://neurawaves.example/pricing/&quot;&gt;pricing page&lt;/a&gt; shows what credits buy. The countdown on the site tells you how many days are left.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;aside class=&quot;callout&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Free for a limited time is exactly that. We will not turn it into a surprise charge: credits are shown in the studio before you generate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/aside&gt;</content>

    <summary>Write a line, pick a voice and hear it in seconds. Transcribe a recording. Describe a voice and listen to the options. One studio, made for every Tunisian.</summary>
    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Neurawaves Studio is where words and voices meet. You write a line, choose a voice and hear it in seconds. You can also turn a recording into a transcript, or describe a voice in plain words and listen to the options. It is one workspace, and it is made to be easy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;What you can do today&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Text to Speech.&lt;/strong&gt; Turn a script into speech with a voice from the library. Add directions to shape the delivery, and write a conversation between two voices.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Speech to Text.&lt;/strong&gt; Upload a recording and get a transcript with speakers and word timings. Export it as TXT, SRT, VTT or JSON.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Voice Design.&lt;/strong&gt; Describe the voice you imagine and preview up to four options.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Word highlighting.&lt;/strong&gt; Switch it on and each word lights up as it plays.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;Made for Tunisia&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Plans are priced in Tunisian dinars, and you can start on the free plan. The website speaks English, French and Arabic. The studio is available in English and Arabic today, with a French interface to come. Voices read English, French and Arabic first, and more languages from the library.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id=&quot;s3&quot;&gt;Where we are&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a preview. Sign-in is still being built and payments are not open yet. Captions, voice cloning with a consent check and real-time voice agents are on the way, and they are labelled Coming soon wherever they appear.&lt;/p&gt;
