📝 Tips & Best Practices
Spell your dialogue carefully, especially when using text-to-speech: Plotagon pronounces text exactly as written, so slight misspellings may yield better emphasis or pronunciation .
For simple scripts, keep scenes between two characters interacting. Extras can be added for ambiance but don't interact directly .
Record your own voice for more natural tone—better than relying solely on TTS.
