AI speech-to-text (text from audio) and text-to-speech (audio from text) are both available — experiment to see which fits your team's workflow.
Audio Substitution is an emerging capability — treat it as experimental and validate output carefully.
Multi-model projects require team members fluent in both oral and written workflows; plan training accordingly.
Start with one book as a pilot before committing the whole project to a multi-model approach.
