  • Choose the language for each generation from the dropdown in the top left of the text box.
  • Be sure that the language you select matches the text you type.

Pronunciation

  • Make sure that everything is spelled correctly.
  • You can also try any alternative spellings, or write the words out phonetically. 
  • To generate a specific pronunciation, try writing out the sounds.

Inflection

  • To add emphasis, use punctuation throughout your text, and at the end. Try not to use quotation marks for emphasis.
  • To add a pause, use a single dash (-).
  • To stress that something is a question, use 2 question marks at the end of the sentence.

Numbers and symbols

  • Write out numbers, symbols, and acronyms into words.
  • When listing several numbers, or reading a long or complex number, use commas or dashes to indicate where the pauses should go.
  • For best results reading a date in AI voiceover, use the format MM/DD/YYYY.

The AI voiceover generator works using a credit system. If you’re subscribed to the AI Voiceover or Max Pro plan, you’ll get 50,000 credits each month, and with a Max Team plan you get 75,000 credits each month. If you already have a subscription plan that does not include voiceover, you’ll get 400 trial credits to generate.

  • Each credit is equivalent to one character.
  • You can use up to 2,000 credits/characters for each voiceover you generate.
  • Every time you click Generate, the number of credits you’ve used for that generation will be subtracted from your total credits.
  • Your credits will reset each month.

The AI Voiceover is available for trial purposes with all plans.
