Text-to-Speech for Social Media Videos

Adding narration to your short-form videos helps retain viewer attention and provides necessary context. Learn how to write concise scripts, choose a clear voice, and generate audio narration directly in your browser.

Why Use Text-to-Speech for Social Media?

Creators use text-to-speech to generate narration for short-form video content. Narration helps guide the viewer through visual information, especially for users who prefer to listen rather than read text on the screen.

Generating voiceovers from text is useful when you want to produce content quickly, maintain a consistent voice style across multiple videos, or when you prefer not to record your own voice.

Choosing the Right Voice

Konthora provides 10 distinct English voices. Selecting a voice that sounds energetic and clear can help hold the viewer's attention.

You can choose from 6 American English voices and 4 British English voices. Consistency is key; using the same voice across your videos can help build a recognizable audio brand for your channel or profile.

Preparing a Short Narration Script

The way you format your text directly impacts how text-to-speech works. Automatic narration relies on punctuation to determine pauses.

For short-form videos, keep your script concise and use periods or commas to enforce short, natural pauses. The tool has a 2,000-character limit per generation, which is typically enough to cover the runtime of a standard short video.

Adjusting Playback Speed

Short-form content is often fast-paced. You can adjust the playback speed from 0.75× to 1.25× to match the energetic flow of your video edits. A slightly faster pace often works well for keeping the viewer engaged in a scrolling feed.

MP3 or WAV?

When you export your generated audio, you can select from two audio formats.

When deciding between MP3 or WAV for video editing, WAV is an uncompressed format that preserves high audio quality, which is ideal for importing into your video editing software. MP3 is a compressed format that takes up less storage space, which can be useful if you need to transfer the file to a mobile device for editing.
