Use a script pass to catch pronunciation risks and plan a rough duration, then review the generated audio against the approved text. The checks below are editorial heuristics, not a result from ElevenLabs.

01 / Script check
Make the draft speakable.
Long sentences, abbreviations, numbers, and URLs deserve an intentional pronunciation decision before they reach a voice.
Browser-local tool
Check a script before you generate
Paste working copy to count words and flag items worth reviewing aloud. This component only analyzes the text in React state; it makes no network request or analytics call.
This component processes the text in your browser. Clearing the field clears the local result.
Planning estimate
0:00 to 0:00
0 words at 130 to 160 spoken words per minute.
Long sentences
No sentence over 30 words found.
Abbreviations
None matched the common abbreviation patterns.
Numbers
No number pattern found.
URLs
No URL pattern found.
Heuristic only: the estimate does not account for a particular voice, pauses, pronunciation, retakes, direction, or editing. Review every flagged item in the actual spoken context; sentence boundaries and abbreviations can be missed or over-flagged.
02 / Repeatable workflow
Script, voice, review, export.
Keep production decisions separate from the words being spoken. The existing narration guide expands this into six documented steps and remains the practical route for a full pass.
Keep the words you want spoken separate from your production notes. Split the script into readable paragraphs so you can review each passage without losing the larger meaning.
02
Choose a voice and model
ElevenLabs documents voice selection and model selection as separate choices. Match the voice to the role and the model to the job. Its documentation describes Multilingual v2 as stable for long form generations, while other models focus on expression or speed.
03
Generate one passage first
Treat the first render as a starting point. ElevenLabs says generation is not deterministic, so the same settings do not guarantee the same result each time.
Use the documented common starting point of stability around 50, similarity around 75, and style at 0 only as a place to begin.
Change one setting at a time when you are comparing versions.
04
Review what is actually spoken
Listen for names, pronunciation, pauses, emphasis, and words that change meaning when spoken aloud. ElevenLabs documents that textual cues affect delivery, but descriptive cues can also be spoken and may need to be trimmed from the audio.
03 / Rights and source checks
Keep a record of what you are allowed to use.
Voice
Record who owns or authorized the voice. For a clone, follow the vendor's current verification and consent rules; keep that record with the project.
Script and references
Confirm rights to the script, names, quotations, translations, supplied recordings, and any reference material. Do not assume a generated result clears a source you did not own.
Destination
Read the current terms of use (opens in a new tab) and any project or destination rules before publishing. Keep the approved source, license notes, and final export together.
The official voice-cloning documentation says its requirements differ by cloning route. Check the current voice-cloning overview (opens in a new tab) rather than relying on this short checklist for a legal conclusion.
