How can I use TTS to make voiceover audio?
Users can use text-to-speech technology to create voiceover by typing a written script and having an AI voice read aloud the script, just as a human would. Once the script is finished, and a speaker voice and reading speed are selected you are ready to download your script into an MP3 Audio file which can be used universally in videos and other formats. However, not all text-to-speech applications allow for the redistribution of generated audio files. If users plan to redistribute their audio files, they must ensure the text-to-speech application used is built for commercial, business or public use. Examples of Commercial Use:
- Company Training Videos
- Product Explainer Videos
- Youtube and Podcasts
- eLearning Content
- Advertisements.
What are the benefits of using TTS for voiceover?
Many people are now turning to text-to-speech technology to create voiceover audio due to its unique benefits over hiring a traditional voice actor. While voice actors can produce amazing voiceover audio there are some issues within the voiceover process itself. Some of the benefits of using TTS to create voiceover audio include: Flexible: Continue making edits and changes to your script throughout the process. Fast: Instead of waiting days to receive voiceover audio from a voice talent, create voiceover in minutes! Simple: Creating voiceovers from text is easy and requires little practice to make high-quality voiceovers. Affordable: Voice actors charge a sizeable one-time fee, whereas commercial text-to-speech services usually operate under an affordable monthly (or yearly) subscription price.
Do AI voices sound like human voices?
The quality of AI-generated voices has seen tremendous growth in recent years due to the rise of Artificial Intelligence. The newest and highest technology of AI voices use a technology called Neural Speech Synthesis. Neural Speech Synthesis uses deep machine learning to study human voices, speech patterns, intonations and other linguistic expressions. Neural deep learning has allowed AI voices to become extremely natural, and mimic human speech. Many AI voices now can be used in place of human voices depending on the use. Voiceover audio for videos used to be a lengthy process, reserved for talented voice actors however, this has changed. Now anyone can create voiceover audio using AI-generated voices that can read aloud scripts in minutes.

How to Use AI TTS for Dyslexia
In this blog post, we'll explore the recent strides in AI technology, particularly AI text-to-speech, that have significantly improved accessibility and introduced exciting new learning tools for students. Throughout the article, we will address the following key points:
1. What is Accessibility?
2. The Features & Benefits of AI Text-to-Speech.
3. How to get started on AI Text-to-Speech Applications
Let's dive into this enlightening discussion!
What is Accessibility?
Accessibility in schools refers to creating an inclusive learning environment that accommodates the diverse needs of all students, including those with dyslexia, visual impairments, ADHD and other learning differences. It involves implementing strategies, resources, and tools to ensure that students with dyslexia or other learning differences can fully participate and succeed in their educational journey.
Accessibility in schools for students with dyslexia encompasses various aspects. Firstly, it involves providing alternative formats for reading materials, such as audiobooks or digital texts, allowing students with dyslexia to access information in a way that suits their learning style. Additionally, it entails incorporating assistive technologies, such as text-to-speech software or speech recognition tools, which can assist students with dyslexia in writing and comprehension tasks. Moreover, accessibility measures include creating a supportive and understanding classroom environment, where educators are trained in recognizing and addressing the unique challenges faced by students with dyslexia. This may involve employing multisensory teaching methods, breaking down complex tasks into smaller steps, and providing additional time for assignments and assessments. By embracing accessibility practices in schools, students with dyslexia can fully engage in their education, build their confidence, and achieve academic success.
Features & Benefits of AI Text To Speech
AI Text-to-speech (TTS) technology offers numerous benefits for individuals with visual impairments, dyslexia, ADHD, and other learning differences, empowering them to overcome reading and writing challenges. Here are some key features and benefits of TTS for these individuals:
Closed Captions with Dyslexia Font
We're thrilled to offer a helpful feature designed to make learning more accessible for everyone, especially those with dyslexia. Our closed caption feature now comes with dyslexia font support, providing two essential benefits: enlarged text and dyslexia-friendly font.
- Enlarged Text: By turning on closed captions, the text for the current sentence at hand will be displayed in a larger and more readable format. This ensures that learners can focus on one sentence at a time, reducing visual overwhelm and improving overall comprehension.
- Dyslexia Font: Additionally, you have the option to switch to the dyslexia-friendly font. This font has been scientifically proven to be easier to read for individuals with dyslexia. By selecting this option, you'll transform the appearance of the text, making it more accessible and accommodating for learners with dyslexia.
The best part is that this feature works across various types of content, such as PDFs, textbooks, web pages, and any other written material available on our platform. It's a powerful tool that empowers students to engage with the content more effectively, enhancing their learning experience and ensuring inclusivity.
Camera Scanner for Physical Text
Our Camera Scanner is specially designed to make physical text more accessible and dyslexia-friendly. For individuals with dyslexia, reading traditional textbooks or written content can be challenging. With our Camera Scanner, you can now effortlessly convert any physical textbook, handout, or chalkboard into an easily understandable format. All you need to do is take a photo, and the Scanner will work its magic, transforming the text into an audio format. You can simply listen and read along at your own pace, making learning more enjoyable and comfortable. Our Camera Scanner opens up a world of possibilities, providing a dyslexia-friendly way to interact with physical text and empowering you to succeed in your learning journey. Embrace this powerful tool and experience a new level of accessibility today!
Custom Reading Speed
Our reading speed customization feature is designed to cater to the diverse needs of all our users, including those with dyslexia. We understand that reading at a fixed pace can be challenging, so we've implemented a solution that puts the student in control. Whether you prefer a slower pace for better comprehension or a faster one for a quick overview, we've got you covered. Our reading speeds range from a very slow 50 words per minute (WPM) to a rapid 900 WPM, ensuring that there's an ideal pace for every type of reader. So, whether you're a student with dyslexia or anyone looking for a more tailored reading experience, you can now read along at a pace that feels just right for you.
Enhanced Reading Comprehension:
Dyslexic individuals often struggle with decoding written text, which can hinder their reading comprehension. TTS technology allows them to listen to the text being read aloud, eliminating potential decoding difficulties. By engaging both the auditory and visual senses, TTS can improve reading comprehension and promote a deeper understanding of the content.
Multi-Modal Presentation:
Multi-modal presentation refers to the utilization of multiple sensory channels to convey information and content. In educational settings, it often involves presenting information in both visual and auditory formats simultaneously, creating a richer learning experience. AI text-to-speech plays a pivotal role in achieving multi-modal presentation by converting written text into spoken words. This technology not only provides auditory access to the content but also complements it with visual representation as the words are highlighted or displayed on the screen. This dual approach significantly enhances comprehension and retention for learners, as they can process information through both hearing and seeing.
For individuals with reading difficulties, multi-modal presentation can be a transformative tool. By integrating AI text-to-speech, those who struggle with reading or have learning disabilities like dyslexia can access content more effectively. The combination of auditory and visual cues allows them to reinforce understanding by simultaneously listening to the text while following along visually. This reduces the cognitive load and helps individuals with reading difficulties to focus better on the material. Furthermore, the multi-modal approach caters to different learning styles, making it easier for diverse learners to grasp information in a way that suits their preferences and needs. Overall, multi-modal presentation, facilitated by AI text-to-speech, fosters inclusivity and empowers learners of all abilities to engage with educational content more confidently and successfully.
Increased Focus and Attention:
TTS technology can help individuals with dyslexia maintain focus and attention while reading. By eliminating the effort and frustration associated with decoding written text, individuals can allocate more mental energy toward understanding and comprehending the material. This reduced cognitive load can lead to improved concentration and engagement with the content.
