French writes far more letters than it says. Final consonants are usually silent, but they come back when the next word begins with a vowel — the liaison in "les amis" or "vous avez" — and whether a liaison is required, optional or forbidden depends on grammar rather than spelling. This is where French synthesis is won or lost: an engine that applies liaison mechanically sounds stilted, and one that skips it entirely sounds foreign.

Nasal vowels are the other distinctive demand: the sounds in "un", "on", "an" and "in" have no English equivalent and are not simply a vowel followed by n. Numbers are worth a specific mention, since French builds them unusually above sixty — quatre-vingt-dix is literally "four-twenty-ten" — and an engine reading a price list or a date has to get that right rather than reading the digits.

One practical habit helps more than any setting: write numbers, dates and currency the way you want them said. French reads 1 000 € and 1000 euros differently, and an engine handed a bare figure has to choose a form — often the wrong one for a voiceover. Spelling out anything you would say aloud in words removes the guess entirely, and the same applies to abbreviations, which French expands less predictably than English does. French also runs longer than English — a translated script typically gains a fifth in length, so audio cut to an English timing will not fit.
