Frequently asked questions
What languages are available in the voiceover generator?
There are over 80 different languages users can create AI voiceovers in for free. Some popular languages include Spanish, Japanese, Hindi, Italian, Arabic, German, and French. For the full list of languages, please refer to our AI voiceover help article.
How do I fix incorrect pronunciation on the AI voice generator?
If your text to speech isn’t pronouncing a word correctly, try intentionally misspelling the word (spelling it as it sounds). For numbers, write them out in full for example, 2024 becomes “two thousand and twenty-four.”
Can I record my own voice instead of creating an AI voiceover?
Yes. Easily record your own voice with the voice recorder to add a unique touch to any video.
Can I add subtitles to my video voiceover?
Yes. We highly recommend adding subtitles to videos that include an AI voiceover or voice recording using the subtitle generator. Captions are essential for increasing your video's accessibility and online reach.
