TTS Safety Review

Scan and sanitise scripts for elements that don't translate well to speech: URLs, emails, emojis, shouting-style capitalisation, unexpanded abbreviations, markdown syntax, and bracketed stage directions. Output is TTS-ready and grounded in what real TTS engines handle poorly.

When to use

• You have text from web content, markdown docs, or chat that may contain URLs, emojis, or markdown artefacts
• You're converting user-submitted copy to TTS and want to catch rendering issues before synthesis
• You need a clean audit trail of what was changed and why

Inputs to gather

• Source text file (path)
• Optional: working directory for output (defaults to source file's parent)
• Optional: target TTS engine or flavour (SSML, ElevenLabs, generic) — informs how bracketed directions are handled
