How to Use AI to Organize Articles into EchoFactory Training Sentences
How to Use AI to Organize Articles into EchoFactory Training Sentences
If your article is relatively long or contains complex long sentences, we recommend first using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude to organize it before importing it into EchoFactory.
Currently, EchoFactoryโs built-in small model is primarily responsible for text cleaning, and its ability to segment complex articles is still being continuously optimized. For longer articles, using large AI models typically yields better results.
Step 1: Copy Your Article
You can use any content, for example:
- News
- Novels
- Textbooks
- AI-generated content
- YouTube subtitles
- Podcast transcripts
- Text extracted from PDFs
Step 2: Send It to AI
Send the following prompt along with your article to the AI.
Recommended Prompt
Convert the following text into language-learning training units.
Requirements:
- Split long paragraphs into individual training units.
- Each unit should be short and natural for listening and shadowing practice.
- Keep the original wording whenever possible.
- Do not summarize.
- Do not paraphrase.
- Do not translate.
- Do not correct grammar.
- Remove page numbers, headers, footers, timestamps, and other metadata.
- Remove duplicate lines.
- Output one training unit per line.
- Do not use numbering or bullet points.
- Do not include any explanation.

Step 3: Review the Results
It is recommended to quickly scan through the AIโs output.
A good training unit typically:
โ Has a moderate length โ can be read aloud in one breath.
โ Contains a complete expression.
โ Can be practiced independently without needing to understand the surrounding context.
For example:
Probably. If it is new, it will work.
Keep it as a single line.
On the other hand, a long sentence like:
However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.
is better split into:
However, as the evidence began to accumulate.
Experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate.
The descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.
During training, shorter units typically make it easier to form stable language reflexes.
Step 4: Import into EchoFactory
Paste the organized content directly into EchoFactory.
The system will:
- Remove blank lines
- Remove duplicate content
- Keep each line as one training unit
You can then generate EchoLoop audio.
Some Suggestions
- Each training unit is recommended to be around 10โ18 words (applicable to English, French, German, Spanish, etc.).
- If a sentence exceeds about 18 words, it can usually be split into two or more training units.
- There is no need to deliberately preserve the original sentence-ending punctuation structure. For EchoLoop, training units are more important than grammatical sentences.
- It is better to keep them slightly short rather than too long. Being able to naturally complete shadowing in one breath is more suitable for training than preserving complete long sentences.
