Tips for natural speech
- Account for regional orthographySesotho uses slight spelling variations between Lesotho and South Africa (e.g., 'bua' vs 'buea' or diacritic styles). Stick to one consistent standard throughout your script.
- Write out numbers and abbreviationsSpell numbers and currency amounts in full words rather than digits so the voice synthesizer applies natural counting concords.
- Structure breath groups with punctuationUse commas and periods intentionally around relative clauses and concords to guide balanced rhythm and melodic tone.
