Pandrator workflows

How audiobook, subtitle, and voiceover sessions move through inspect, plan, execute, and review.

Pandrator organizes creative work in sessions. A session fixes the workflow kind, languages, included stages, settings revisions, source artifacts, and selected outputs. A stage reads a selected artifact and creates a new artifact; it does not silently overwrite an earlier revision.

Supported workflow kinds

  • Audiobook for document cleanup, narration segmentation, optional text-to-speech optimization, generation, assembly, and export.
  • Subtitles for transcription, correction, optional translation, comparison, and subtitle or transcript export.
  • Voiceover for the subtitle pipeline plus generated speech, assembly or mixing, and media export. The underlying application also calls this the dubbing pipeline.

Inspect-first sequence

  1. Inspect capabilities, providers, and voices.
  2. Inspect existing sessions before creating another with the same purpose.
  3. Inspect the session and workflow snapshot.
  4. Review source and selected artifact revisions.
  5. Preview an exact workflow plan, including provider disclosures.
  6. Ask the user to approve that exact plan.
  7. Execute once and observe the returned work reference.
  8. Review generated artifacts before selecting, assembling, or exporting them.

Planning and execution are separate on purpose. A plan becomes stale when a relevant session, source, setting, provider, or selected artifact changes. Re-plan instead of attempting to work around a stale-plan failure.
