Motion Array's Voiceover tool will generate your text into speech using your selected voice from the catalog of exclusive voices.
Context
- Be sure to provide text with context so that the Voiceover tool will know how to read it.
- To create a fluid voiceover, use brackets to contain individual phrases and string them together.
Example: "[Try the new Voiceover tool.] [It’s easy to use.]"
Pronunciation
- Select the language that matches the text you enter into the box.
- Make sure the words are spelled correctly.
- Try alternative spellings or write words out phonetically to achieve a specific pronunciation. This is useful for proper nouns, trademarks, and words that are spelled the same but pronounced differently.
- Write acronyms in word form, making sure to write each letter as it's pronounced.
Some common examples are:- U - type “you”
- X - type “ex”
- A - type “ae”
- I - type “eye”
Inflection
- To add emphasis, use punctuation throughout your text, and at the end of it.
- Avoid using quotation marks for emphasis unless you’re referring to a quote.
- To stress that something is a question, use 2 question marks at the end of the sentence.
Pauses
- To add a pause, use a comma (,) or a single dash (-).
- To specify the length of a pause, add the <break /> tag where you want the timed pause and specify the time in seconds (s) or milliseconds (ms).
- Example: <break time="1s" />
Numbers and symbols
- When listing several numbers, or reading a long or complex number, use commas or dashes to indicate where the pauses should go.
- When narrating dates, use either the format MM/DD/YYYY, or write it out.
- Example: Write "01/26/2025" or “January 26th, 2025”.
- To read each individual character, for example in a long numerical string or alphanumeric code, type <spell> before and </spell> after the text.
- Example: “You can enter <spell> 4454 2371cg491 </spell>.”
- Avoid using symbols or special characters. Instead, write out the word.
- Example: “#” = Hashtag
URLs
- Write the URL as you would read it out loud
- Example: “Motion Array dot com” (for motionarray.com)
- Example: “Generating voiceovers dot com” (for generatingvoiceovers.com)
- If a URL or email address comes at the end of a question, add a space before the question mark so that the question mark won’t be read out loud.
- Example: “Can you open motionarray.com ?”
