Turn Text Into a Voice-over Draft for Your Video
Use this online text to voice generator to preview an AI voice-over for a tutorial, product demo or explainer video. Start with the words the audience should hear, then listen for instructions that need more context or sentences that do not fit the scene.
This workflow focuses on preparing voice-over scripts to accompany visuals. For general text conversion, use the text to speech tool. For listening to reading material, use the TTS reader.
Hear the script first
Preview the narration before you record or edit anything.
Spoken words only
Paste the narration and keep scene notes in your script.
One consistent voice
The same narrator across every scene of a video.
MP3 from the app
Save the voice-over and place it in your editor.
How to Use the Text to Voice Generator
- Write the narration for a short scene. Keep editing notes and camera directions in a separate document.
- Paste the spoken words into the tool, up to 5,000 characters.
- Generate the preview and compare it with the script.
- Watch the scene while listening. Revise wording that refers to a control or action the viewer cannot identify.
- Continue in the app to save the result, and review the complete saved narration before placing it in your video editor. App downloads: Paid plans only.
Check the preview against your script
Paste one scene
Short scenes are easier to time.
Follow the script
Read along while the preview plays.
Confirm every line
Make sure the last line was spoken.
The browser preview can be a short introduction rather than a complete reading, so check which lines were included before you rely on it.
Write Instructions a Viewer Can Follow
Replace vague visual references with the name of the object or control, so the instruction can be matched to the screen:
Hard to match to the screen
“Click here and change this.”
Easy to follow
“Open Settings, select Notifications, and turn on email alerts.”
Keep each instruction close to the action it describes. If a scene changes before the spoken explanation finishes, shorten the script or give the scene more time in your editor. Review the revised narration alongside the footage rather than estimating its fit from the paragraph length.
Common voice-over script problems
| Script problem | Suggested revision |
|---|---|
| Production notes mixed with narration | Keep “show dashboard” in the edit notes and paste only spoken words |
| An unfamiliar acronym | Write the full term on first use |
| A reference to “the button” | Name the button exactly as it appears on screen |
| A dense list of features | Describe the feature used in the current scene |
AI Voice-over for Tutorials, Product Videos and Explainers
Tutorials
Introduce the task before the first action, and say what the viewer should see after each instruction, especially when a page takes time to load.
Product demos
Match each claim to something the video shows. Keep the script editable so an interface change can be reflected in both narration and footage.
Explainer videos
Introduce the idea before its details, and make the move from problem to solution clear so viewers connect the words to the diagram on screen.
Screen recordings
Name each control as it appears, and keep spoken steps in the order the pointer moves.
Voice options: one fixed AI voice, no speed, pitch or volume controls. Decide whether the preview suits the project before preparing the rest of the script, and keep a copy of the final text with your video assets so future corrections are easier to make.
Script to Voice Examples for Screen Recordings
Separate the words you want spoken from the instructions you leave for an editor. Use the scene notes to describe what appears on screen, and paste only the narration into the text to voice generator.
Script to voice lines for screen recordings
| Scene | Spoken script to try |
|---|---|
| Opening a settings panel | “Open Settings, then select Notifications.” |
| Waiting for an export | “When the export is ready, open the file to check the result.” |
| Comparing two views | “The preview on the right shows how the updated layout will appear.” |
| Finishing a tutorial | “Review the saved changes before closing the project.” |
Adapt each line to the interface your audience will see. Check control names against the recording rather than guessing from memory. If the pointer moves before the relevant instruction is spoken, revise the script or adjust the scene in your video editor.
Review an AI Voice-over Before Adding It to a Video
Once you have saved the narration, listen alongside the footage. Check whether the opening identifies the task, each action has a matching instruction, and the closing explains what the viewer should do next. Review the saved result separately from the browser preview so you know which lines are present.
Keep a simple scene list with the script beside each scene. If a line needs changing, note which audio and video sections will need another review. This helps you avoid correcting the voice-over while leaving an outdated screen recording in the final edit.
Output format: MP3. After placing the audio in your editor, listen through the exported video to check that the intended narration is present and that scene changes still match the words.
