Speech cleanup

Speech-readiness checks

Small formatting issues can become audible once text is read aloud.

Broken line breaks Rejoins copied PDF or web lines so narration does not pause mid-thought.
Awkward symbols Flags characters like @, &, stray bullets, and copied symbols that may sound unnatural.
Long sentences Surfaces wording that may be harder to follow when heard instead of read.
Hidden formatting Removes invisible spacing and copy/paste artifacts before narration prep.
IVR spacing Helps pasted menu text keep cleaner pauses, options, and paragraph flow.
Next-step SSML Use the SSML Builder when the script needs pauses, chunks, or speech tags.
