What it does

Keeps an audiobook consistent when names and jargon get corrected. When the pronunciation lexicon changes, the workflow finds exactly which chapters contain the affected terms, re-narrates only those chapters with the updated lexicon applied, and swaps the new audio in place — no full-book re-render.

When to use it

Use it for technical or name-heavy books where pronunciations get refined over time. It avoids the cost and turnaround of re-narrating an entire title every time one term is fixed, while guaranteeing every occurrence is corrected.

How it works

  1. 1An edit to the pronunciation lexicon doc fires the trigger with the changed terms.
  2. 2The flow scans the chapter source files in Dropbox for those terms.
  3. 3A logic step builds the impacted-chapter set and exits early if nothing matches.
  4. 4ElevenLabs re-narrates each impacted chapter applying the updated lexicon.
  5. 5The new files overwrite the prior chapter audio in Dropbox, and the TTS index durations are refreshed.
  6. 6A notification posts to Slack listing which chapters were re-rendered and why.
