Dialogue audio with Script mode

Sometimes you need people talking to each other rather than one voice narrating — an audio drama, a conversation textbook, a workplace-safety role-play. Script mode reads each line in a different voice and joins it all into one file, so there is no stitching recorded fragments together in an editor.

1. How to write the script

At the top right of the text box, press Script (several), then write one line of dialogue per line as Name: line.

• Put a colon (:) after the name. The full-width Korean colon (：) is recognised too.
• A line with no name is read by the Narrator. Scene descriptions can simply go without a name.
• Something like "10:30" is not treated as a name, so you can write times without worry.
• Up to 8 characters, 150 lines and 10,000 characters in one go.

2. Giving each character a voice

As soon as you type a script, a Character voices list appears below. Female and male voices are assigned alternately to start with, and the Narrator begins on a calm male voice. You can change voice, tone and effect per character, and ▶ plays that character's first line.

When you have more characters than voices, tell them apart with tone and effects.

3. The gap between lines

Gap between lines under Script settings is the silence inserted between one line and the next. Everyday conversation sounds natural at 0.3–0.5 seconds; for teaching material where the learner repeats after the speaker, raise it to 1.5–2 seconds. If you only want breathing room at scene changes, split the narration with commas instead.

4. Worked examples

An English conversation lesson

Assign "multilingual" voices (Ava, Andrew and the like) to the characters and the English lines are read naturally. Leave the Narrator on a Korean voice and one file can hold both the Korean explanation and the English dialogue. A gap of about 1.5 seconds gives the learner time to repeat.

A workplace-safety role-play

Showing an incident as a conversation sticks far longer than reading out the rules. It works well as audio dropped into training slides.

Bedtime stories and audio drama

Put the Narrator on the "Gentle" tone and lay "Calm music" underneath at about 15% and it takes on a bedtime-story feel. Giving each character a different effect lets children tell who is speaking from the voice alone.

5. Subtitles come too

Files made in Script mode also have a CC button for subtitles (SRT). The gaps between lines are accounted for, so dropping them onto a video keeps dialogue and captions aligned. Only the spoken lines go into the subtitles; the character names are left out.

When it does not work

• The name is being read as part of the line. The colon is missing, or the name is longer than 20 characters.
• One person is showing up as two. "Minsu" and "Min su" differ by a space, so they count as different characters.
• The lines run into each other. Raise the gap to 0.5 seconds or more.
