AI voice for Indian online courses: optimize for module consistency and cheap revisions.
Course narration changes over time: terminology repeats, reviewers request edits, syllabi update and language editions multiply. Test the operational workflow, not only the voice sample.
Terminology
Use domain vocabulary, abbreviations, Indian names and exam/course terms.
Consistency
Generate multiple modules and compare identity, pacing and emphasis.
Revision
Replace one sentence after reviewer feedback and judge how well it blends.
Course-narration acceptance test

| Pacing | Dense concept + recap | Learner comprehension issues |
| Revision match | Replace one sentence | Audible mismatch |
| Language edition | Same lesson in target languages | Inconsistent learner experience |
