1. A method for generating a reduced script comprising: automatically processing, by a speech recognizer, a pre-recorded audio to derive pre-recorded speech assets for a concatenative text-to-speech (TTS) voice; determining, by a reduced script construction engine, unfulfilled speech assets needed for full phonetic coverage of the concatenative TTS voice, the unfulfilled speech assets determined from the pre-recorded speech assets and reference speech assets that are supposed to provide full phonetic coverage of the concatenative TTS voice; and constructing, by the reduced script construction engine, from the unfulfilled speech assets a reduced script that includes a set of phrases, for reading by a voice talent to provide a reduced recording, which when processed results in speech assets that include each of the unfulfilled speech assets.
