Read the notes as if you had never seen the page
A line such as “A → B → result” may be clear to its writer but confusing when spoken aloud. Before entering it in FolioTone, write the relationship as a complete sentence. Explain who does what, what causes the next step, and which conclusion the listener should remember after the example ends.
Begin with material you own or have permission to use. For meeting notes or personal information, consider what genuinely needs to become an exported file for sharing. Local speech generation avoids sending the text to an inference server, but voluntarily sharing the completed recording is still a separate choice you should make deliberately.
Build a path through the material
Arrange the content into an opening, a few main ideas, and a conclusion. Each section should briefly establish what it explains. Instead of relying on a visual heading or highlight color, include a transition in the listening draft so the audience knows when you move to a new subject or example.
Reduce dense lists by grouping related ideas. You may keep a compact reference note for looking at and a more complete version for listening. The two drafts serve different purposes, so there is no need to force every word on the screen into the recording in exactly the original visual order.
Choose a voice using a representative sample
Select a Vietnamese voice for Vietnamese notes or Clear English for an English passage. If the language changes, divide the appropriate sections and select their voices manually. Do not rely on the interface language to assume the voice will automatically change in the middle of a sentence or quotation.
Test a passage containing both the introduction and a difficult idea. Listen to how it introduces an example, reads a proper name, and concludes the point. When a sentence becomes hard to follow, revise its wording before adding more generation attempts; clearer audio often starts with a clearer piece of writing.
Keep the recording with its content revision
Prepare the audio parts with the app in the foreground and review them before exporting WAV or M4A. Name the recording after its subject and revision so you can distinguish the version prepared for your next presentation from an earlier draft that still contains material you have since changed.
FolioTone creates narration from text; it is not a personal voice-cloning tool or an automatic writer of your presentation. Use the recording to review the structure and find missing explanations. Before sharing, check that the recipient can open the file and that it does not contain internal notes you intended to keep private.
