Add the people, the goal, a level or your own document. 2 ### AI writes and casts it A realistic script with a distinct AI voice for every person in it. 3 ### Edit, generate, share Adjust any line, create the audio, then share a link or download the MP3. 🗣️ ## Built on the ESL Listening Dialogue Generator Tell ZenMic the situation, level, grammar point and target words. It writes a dialogue between the people IN the situation (not hosts talking about it), keeps language at the level, uses every target word, and voices it in the accent you choose.
