Recording videos but unsure how to create a quality voiceover? Got a great script for a podcast episode, but keep putting off recording it? Or did you film a vlog from your vacation, but without added commentary, the video is dull and unengaging?
Save time and hand it over to artificial intelligence! Thanks to text-to-speech technology, you can convert written text into spoken words and get a professionally sounding audio!
Text-to-speech (TTS) is a technology that can convert written text into spoken words in real-time. Computer systems can read the given text aloud using an artificial AI voice.
The text-to-speech system first analyzes the text you entered, then generates an audio version using synthetic voices or your recorded voice samples.
There are numerous programs and applications offering text-to-speech technology. However, the quality of artificial voices is often very low, and the resulting recording sounds unnatural and mechanical. If you want the text-to-audio conversion to be of the highest quality, try Editee. Our text-to-speech tool offers a wide range of AI voices and even lets you create a clone of your own voice!
The Czech AI app Editee combines dozens of tools to help you easily create text, visual, or audio content. With the AI chat, image generator, translator, audio tools, and dozens of handy templates, you can create blog posts, social media posts, audiobooks, podcasts, or spoken reels.
Choose a Synthetic Voice or Create a Clone of Your Own
For a voiceover or podcast to sound natural, you need to find a naturally sounding synthetic voice for text-to-speech. Its tone and timbre should vary depending on the content you create and the message you convey.
For this reason, we've included dozens of female and male voices in the text-to-speech function that are indistinguishable from human voices, sounding completely professional and believable.
Would you prefer your audience to associate the voice with your face? No problem! Editee allows you to upload samples of your own voice to the text-to-speech tool. This way, the AI learns to speak like you, and the resulting audio will sound completely natural and authentic.

Once you open the online Editee app, you'll see a navigation menu on the left with all the AI tools you can use. However, if you already have text prepared and just want to convert it to an audio recording, follow these steps:
1. Click on the Audio tab in the navigation menu

3. Name your project and choose your ideal voice
4. Paste your text
5. Generate the audio and save the recording
How to Create a Clone of Your Own Voice for Text-to-Speech
If you've decided to use a clone of your own voice for audio creation, you'll first need to create it. In the Audio tab, you'll also find the Voice Cloning function.
Here, you'll upload a recording or recordings of your voice in mp3, .m4a, or .wav format. For the best results, the recording should last at least three minutes. You can also further train the app by adding more samples. The more minutes of your voice recording Editee has available, the better it will capture its specifics and nuances.
Don't have a recording of your voice? No problem. You can also record your speech directly in the app.
TIP: Is there a part of the recording you're not satisfied with? Are you missing an emphatic pause, or did the AI voice mispronounce a word? Check out our tips on how to edit the text for text-to-speech so that the result sounds perfect!
If text-to-speech technology has piqued your interest and you're still unsure whether it's suitable for your creations, we can assure you that it definitely is. Here are several examples of how it can be used.
With text-to-speech, you can take existing text content published on your blog or in an e-book, give it a new form, and reach a new audience. If you create educational content, for instance, it doesn't have to end up in written form only.
People often don't have much time for reading, and an audiobook is more digestible. They can listen to its content on their way to work or while exercising. So if you want to reach as many people as possible with your e-book, create an audio version too.
No matter what your podcast is about, a lot of time and work goes into preparing each episode, researching information. If you've carefully written and prepared everything, don't spend more hours recording. You can convert your text to audio in just a few minutes and focus on preparing more content.
If you don't directly address your audience in your videos or reels, it's a good idea to add some audio. This way, you can convey your message more easily and engage your viewers.
Text-to-speech is also suitable for vlogs consisting of multiple edited shots. An accompanying commentary converted to audio using text-to-speech will fill in the gaps for the viewer.
However, you can also use text-to-speech technology for personal purposes. For example, if you have lecture notes written down or want to read a longer article but don't have time, simply convert the text to audio.
By using text-to-speech technology, your videos and recordings will sound professional, and the audio quality will not only be high but also consistent, helping build trust and brand recognition. But there are many more advantages!
Accessibility. Listening to audio is more accessible for many people than reading. Statistics also show that people better absorb and listen to information until the end when listening. They often stop reading before going through the entire content.
Content comprehension. Adding audio to your video will convey your message better than just visuals or text.
Audience engagement and relationship building. People naturally seek communication. Thanks to voiceovers, viewers feel like they're communicating with the author, adding a personal dimension to the video.
Time and money savings. Text-to-speech technology will also save you hours of work and money on professional services. You no longer need to spend hours recording and editing for audiobook production, podcasting, or professional voiceovers. AI will prepare the audio in seconds or minutes.
