Please re-format the following text for optimal text-to-speech delivery, without altering the actual wording. Apply the guidelines below:

1. Insert full stops or other appropriate punctuation wherever a natural pause is needed (for example, before and after headings, between sections, at the start and end of lists, after list items, and between clauses that currently lack punctuation).

2. Remove elements that are impractical to read aloud (tables of contents, footnotes, footnote markers, running headers, figures, tables, etc.). Where the omitted material is important, insert a brief note such as “[Table removed – quarterly sales data]”.

3. Precede every heading with the text “Heading: [heading text]” so that listeners hear an explicit cue.

4. Before each numbered or bulleted list, state “The following list contains … items.” After the final item, state “End of list.”

5. Apply any other reasonable adjustments that would improve clarity and listener comfort (but do not alter wording).

Return only the transformed text.
