THE AI VOICE BUYER'S SCORECARD
Ear Tested  ·  Run your own A/B test before you pay for anything
One page. No fake scores. The same method we use on eartested.com
— do it yourself.
================================================================

1 · SET UP A FAIR FIGHT
-----------------------
- Use the SAME script (about 150 words) in both tools — natural
  sentences, numbers, abbreviations.
- Use the SAME voice-style brief (age, tone, pacing) for both voices.
- Generate both on comparable settings. Change one variable at a time.
- Document model, voice name, settings, and date for each sample.
- Export both at the same loudness and format before comparing.

2 · LISTEN WITH FRESH EARS
--------------------------
- Do the test BLIND if you can — have someone else play the clips
  unlabeled.
- Pauses and breathing sound natural, not robotic or choppy.
- The voice stays consistent from the first sentence to the last.
- No swallowed words, mispronunciations, or weird number reads.
- Emotion and emphasis match what the script actually says.
- No digital glitches, buzzing, or artifacts in quiet moments.
- Run a 5+ minute sample — many voices fall apart in long form.
- Test YOUR use case: narration, dialogue, ads, or training audio.

3 · SCORE IT
------------
- For each line above, mark which voice won — tally A wins vs B wins.
- Weight your use case heavier: narration prizes stamina, ads prize
  punch.
- Re-run a close round with a different script before spending money.

4 · TALLY & DECIDE
------------------
Voice A: ________________________________________
(voice / tool name)
wins: _____

Voice B: ________________________________________
(voice / tool name)
wins: _____

Winner for MY use case: ________________________________________
Why (the one moment that decided it): ____________________________
