Darija recipe voiceovers: match each quantity to the right step

Check the recipe version before recording

A short recipe video can show one quantity, say another and link to a third. That often starts with an ordinary edit: the creator halves the recipe, but the old narration stays in the timeline.

Keep one approved ingredient list beside your script. Mark the version and serving amount in your project notes, then check every quantity after a portion change. Do not casually convert grams to spoonfuls or replace an ingredient to make a sentence shorter. The person responsible for the recipe should approve those changes.

For an agency, ask the client to approve the recipe card and spoken text together. Approval of the picture alone does not confirm the amounts in the audio.

Keep each spoken action with its shot

The following lines are fictional editing examples for a salad video, not a tested recipe. They demonstrate how a visible amount and its spoken form can stay together.

Make fractions and units audible

Read the script aloud before generating it. “100 g” is compact on a recipe card; «مية غرام» gives you a specific spoken wording to test. For a fraction, keep both the fraction and the measure: «نص معلقة صغيرة» rather than «نص» on its own.

If the output misreads a quantity, rewrite that phrase and test it again. Do not rely on the listener to resolve a mismatch from the picture. Keep temperatures, cooking times and safety instructions exactly as approved by the recipe owner; this narration checklist does not establish that a recipe is safe or complete.

• Does every spoken amount match the approved ingredient list?
• Is the ingredient named before the viewer has to identify it?
• Are fractions, units and spoon sizes clear in the audio?
• Did any portion change leave an old amount in the captions or narration?
• Are optional ingredients identified as optional in both the text and audio?

Correct a quantity across all three versions

Listen to a voice reference, then test the difficult line

The two players below are existing Moroccan Darija recordings: Omar's shop welcome and Hala's gift-shop message. They are voice references, not recordings of this recipe or proof that its quantities will be pronounced correctly. Any shop or delivery wording belongs to those sample scripts, not your video.

Review the exported video, not only the audio

Play the final video with its captions and recipe card available. Pause at each ingredient change. Confirm that the voice refers to what is on screen now, rather than the ingredient from the previous cut. Check the beginning and end of replacement clips for clipped words, abrupt volume changes or a different delivery.

If you change a line, review the neighbouring shots too. A new recording can be longer or shorter even when the wording is similar. Keep a clear filename for the approved take so an older amount does not return during the next export. These are steps in your video editor and project folder, not automatic FasihTTS editing features.

For a recurring cooking series, keep the approved ingredient pronunciation and voice choice with the episode notes. Carry forward the decisions, not unchecked numbers from the last recipe.
