How to turn lesson notes into clear AI narration
Slide text and spoken teaching have different jobs. A slide can hold a list, while narration needs to guide the learner through it in order.
Explain one idea per segment
Start each segment with what the learner will understand or do. Turn bullet points into complete sentences and make references explicit: ‘choose Export’ is clearer than ‘click there.’ Separate narration from teacher notes and slide directions so those notes are not spoken.
‘In this step, we’ll save the finished audio. Choose Export, then select a folder you can find later. After saving, play the file once to check the result.’
Introduce unfamiliar terms
Expand an abbreviation the first time it appears, then use the shorter form consistently. Write equations as you want them spoken if the symbolic version is unclear. Keep a small pronunciation list for recurring names and terms, and test that list before generating a long lesson.
For a beginner lesson, write ‘return on investment, or R O I’ on first use. For an equation, try ‘distance equals speed multiplied by time’ instead of relying on symbols.
Leave room for understanding
Choose a steady delivery and request short pauses after a definition or a worked example. Generate a representative paragraph first, including the hardest term. Once it works, reuse the voice and instructions across the lesson. Export sections separately so future corrections stay small. If learners need several seconds to complete a task, add that silence in your editing tool; punctuation alone cannot reliably specify an exact duration.
