## TTS Optimization Rules

Apply these changes systematically:

### Sentence Structure
- Break sentences longer than [MAX_SENTENCE_WORDS] words into two sentences
- Replace em dashes with a comma or a new sentence
- Spell out numbers under [NUMBER_THRESHOLD] in full (e.g., "three" not "3")
- Expand all abbreviations: e.g., "AI" → "Artificial Intelligence" on first use, then keep "AI"

### Punctuation for Pacing
- Use a period or comma where a natural breath occurs, not a semicolon
- Insert [PAUSE_MARKER] where a one-second pause improves comprehension
- Replace bullet lists with spoken transitions: "First, ... Second, ... Finally, ..."

### Conversational Adjustments
- Replace formal phrases like "It is important to note that" with "Here's what matters:"
- Convert passive voice to active where possible
- Add a [CONVERSATIONAL_OPENER] at the start of each major section

### Headers and Visual Elements
Remove all markdown headers. Replace each with a spoken transition: "Now let's talk about [SECTION_TOPIC]."

## Output

Return the full TTS-ready script, estimated reading time at [WPM] words per minute, and a list of [FLAG_COUNT] words the TTS engine may mispronounce with suggested phonetic spellings.
