Use Native Scripts

Why Native Scripts Matter

Native scripts help the text-to-speech engine pronounce words correctly with proper intonation.

Accurate Language Detection

Helps the AI identify the intended language and maintain consistency.

Cultural Context

Better understanding of tone, formality, and cultural nuances.
