A workflow for identifying pronunciation hazards in a TTS script, agreeing phonetic renderings with the user via audio previews, and emitting a phoneticized script ready for narration.

Governing principles

Preview the fragment, not the word. TTS prosody depends on surrounding context. A respelling that sounds right in isolation collapses inside a sentence. Render fragments throughout.
