Edit avatar narration

Learn how to customize the avatar's narration.

Only users on the Premium or higher plans can customize the avatar's narration.

Each speaking test is divided in to multiple scenes such as Introduction, Question 1, Question 2... Question N and Conclusion. For each scene in the test, the avatar speaks a message appropriate for that scene. Using the edit avatar interface, test creators can customize what the avatar speaks during each scene. While most scenes are singular, a few scenes can also have sub-scenes. Test creators have the option to customize the narration for sub-scenes also.

A comprehensive list of scene and sub-scenes is available in the expandable box below for reference:
