Some files in every batch are bad
You generate up to 500 TTS files per batch. A percentage of them have anomalies. The question is: which ones?
The numbers
Every TTS batch has bad files. The only question is whether you find them before or after your users do.
What goes wrong in TTS batches
These anomalies are common, subtle, and hard to catch without automated analysis.
Speaker Drift
The TTS voice changes pitch, timbre, or rate across a batch. File 1 sounds different from file 200. You need to find where it drifted.
Accent Shift
The model produces files with inconsistent accent characteristics. Some files sound off compared to the rest of the batch.
Silence & Truncation
Unexpected silence gaps, truncated words, or missing content. These files are obviously broken but buried in the batch.
Prosody Errors
Unnatural emphasis, robotic pacing, or inappropriate tone. The file sounds "off" even though the words are correct.
Audio Glitches
Clicks, pops, digital artifacts, and noise. Model instability or encoding errors that ruin the file.
Repetition Artifacts
Repeated words or phrases caused by model attention failures. The file is clearly broken and needs regenerating.
You can't listen to every file
Manual QA catches 30% of bad files at best. The rest ship to production and your users find them first.
Why manual review doesn't work
You can't listen to every file
A 500-file batch takes hours to listen through. Nobody has that time, so teams spot-check - and bad files slip through.
Subtle anomalies are invisible in isolation
Speaker drift is gradual. Each file sounds fine compared to the one before it. You only notice by comparing files far apart in the batch.
Spot-checking has a terrible hit rate
Listening to 10% of a batch catches maybe 30% of the bad files. The rest ship to production.
Re-generating the entire batch is wasteful
When you can't identify which files are bad, you re-generate everything. 85%+ of those files were fine to begin with.
You need to know which files to regenerate
TTSAudit analyzes your entire batch and tells you exactly which files are bad.
