How to Use AI for Guided Meditation and Breathing Exercises Quiz

Answers and explanations appear as you take the quiz.

1. You ask a chatbot for a 10-minute meditation script. Why does the spoken audio often run shorter than 10 minutes?
   • Text-to-speech voices always read at double speed
   • The model cannot measure audio length and estimates from word count
   • Chatbots are limited to a fixed number of words per reply
   • Meditation scripts are compressed during synthesis
2. In box breathing, how are the four phases timed?
   • Inhale 4, hold 7, exhale 8, then rest
   • A short inhale and a long exhale, with no hold
   • Several rapid breaths followed by one long hold
   • Equal counts to inhale, hold, exhale and hold
3. What does an SSML tag like <break time="3s"/> do in a text-to-speech script?
   • Inserts three seconds of silence
   • Slows the voice to one-third speed
   • Adds three seconds of background music
   • Splits the audio into separate files
4. If your text-to-speech tool does not support SSML, what can happen to bracketed notes like [pause] in the script?
   • They are turned into silence automatically
   • They are always skipped without effect
   • They may be read aloud as words
   • They cause the tool to reject the file
5. Someone gets dizzy during long breath holds in a 4-7-8 exercise. Which adjustment fits the guide's advice?
   • Hold longer so the body adapts
   • Switch to slow, comfortable breathing such as longer exhales without holds
   • Breathe faster to take in more oxygen
   • Use a louder voice to keep focus
6. About how long would a 600-word script run if read at roughly 100 words per minute with three minutes of added breaks?
   • About 3 minutes
   • About 6 minutes
   • About 9 minutes
   • About 16 minutes
7. Which prompt is most likely to produce a usable meditation script?
   • Write a meditation
   • Make me calm
   • Write something relaxing and long
   • Write a 10-minute body scan for sleep, in second person, marking pauses as [pause 5s]
8. Which expectation about AI-generated meditation matches the guide?
   • It can help with relaxation and habit-building but does not treat anxiety disorders or insomnia
   • It can replace therapy for trauma
   • It is proven to work better than established meditation programs
   • It only works with paid neural voices
