The starting point of any custom neural voice recording session is the script, which contains the utterances to be spoken by your voice talent. (The term "utterances" encompasses both full sentences and shorter phrases.)

The starting point of any custom neural voice recording session is the script, which contains the utterances to be spoken by your voice talent. The term "utterances" encompasses both full sentences and shorter phrases. Building a custom neural voice requires at least 300 recorded utterances as training data.

The utterances in your script can come from anywhere: fiction, non-fiction, transcripts of speeches, news reports, and anything else available in printed form. If you want to make sure your voice does well on specific kinds of words (such as medical terminology or programming jargon), you might want to include sentences from scholarly papers or technical documents. For a brief discussion of potential legal issues, see the ["Legalities"](#legalities) section. You can also write your own text.

Your utterances don't need to come from the same source, or the same kind of source. They don't even need to have anything to do with each other. However, if you'll use set phrases (for example, "You have successfully logged in") in your speech application, make sure to include them in your script. It will give your custom neural voice a better chance of pronouncing those phrases well.

We recommend the recording scripts include both general sentences and your domain-specific sentences. For example, if you plan to record 2,000 sentences, 1,000 of them could be general sentences, another 1,000 of them could be sentences from your target domain or the use case of your application.

We provide [sample scripts in the 'General', 'Chat' and 'Customer Service' domains for each language](https://github.com/Azure-Samples/Cognitive-Speech-TTS/tree/master/CustomVoice/script) to help you prepare your recording scripts. You can use these Microsoft shared scripts for your recordings directly or use them as a reference to create your own. Building a custom neural voice requires at least 300 recorded sentences as training data.
