## Script to Audit

[PASTE_SCRIPT_HERE]

## Audit Categories

### Category 1: Mispronunciation Risks
Scan for:
- Proper nouns (names, brands, places): flag any that [TTS_ENGINE] is likely to mispronounce
- Acronyms that should be spelled out vs. read as words: e.g., "API" → "A-P-I" or "NASA" → "NASA" (as word)
- Homophones where context determines the correct pronunciation: e.g., "read" (past tense) vs. "read" (present)
- Technical jargon in [DOMAIN] that [TTS_ENGINE] handles poorly

### Category 2: Pacing and Rhythm Issues
Flag:
- Sentences over [MAX_SENTENCE_WORDS] words that will be read without natural breath pauses
- Lists longer than [LIST_THRESHOLD] items that need restructuring
- Missing punctuation where the engine will not pause naturally

### Category 3: Symbol and Format Errors
- Currency symbols, percentages, and mathematical notation
- URLs, email addresses, and file paths that TTS will read character-by-character
- Markdown formatting that will be spoken aloud: asterisks, brackets, hashes

## Corrected Script

Return the full corrected script with all issues resolved. For mispronunciation fixes, use [PHONEME_FORMAT] notation or respelling.
