How does Narrafix Auto-Cut handle intentional script deviations?
Narrafix’s Auto-Cut algorithm is designed to handle intentional script deviations with flexibility and reliability. This means that if a narrator intentionally changes, adapts, or corrects a line while recording, the automated edit will continue to work smoothly without cutting errors or skipped sections.
Built for natural performance
In professional audiobook production, it’s completely normal for narrators to slightly adjust the script for better readability or performance - for example:
- Correcting typos or outdated phrasing in the script
- Changing sentence order or structure for a smoother delivery
- Adapting punctuation, pauses, or emphasis naturally while reading
The Auto-Cut algorithm is forgiving by design. It recognizes that spoken language often deviates from the written text — and that these differences are usually intentional and part of a natural performance.
As a result, Auto-Cut will not be negatively affected by such changes up to a certain extent. It still selects the correct final take and keeps the natural flow of speech intact.
Auto-Cut vs. Proofing
It’s important to distinguish between Narrafix’s two main modules:
| Module | Function | Behavior with intentional deviations |
|---|---|---|
| Auto-Cut | Removes misreads, repeats, and off-script speech while maintaining pacing and flow. | Tolerates intentional deviations. These do not cause cutting errors. |
| Proofing | Compares the audio to the script and flags differences for review. | Will flag intentional deviations — even if they were correct or stylistic. |
So while Auto-Cut handles intentional deviations gracefully, the Proofing module will still identify and highlight them for the editor to confirm.
✅ In summary:
- Narrafix Auto-Cut handles intentional script deviations smoothly.
- It doesn’t cut incorrectly if narrators correct, adapt, or rephrase a line.
- Proofing may still flag these spots for review — even if the performance was correct.
- This reflects standard audiobook editing practice and ensures a natural, reliable result.
