    Choosing a voice

    The voice library is grouped by region so you can match the audience you are speaking to. Preview any voice on a single line before applying it to the whole script.

    • West Africa — Nigerian English, Nigerian Pidgin, Ghanaian English, Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa.
    • East & Southern Africa — Swahili, Kenyan English, South African English.
    • MENA — Modern Standard Arabic plus Egyptian and Gulf inflections.
    • International — UK, US, Indian and French voices.

    Fixing pronunciation

    Names, places and slang that the model mispronounces can be corrected once and reused everywhere. The pronunciation dictionary already ships with entries for common African and Arabic terms; anything you add applies to future renders automatically.

    Keeping audio and video in sync

    1. 1Generate the voiceover before adjusting scene timing — scene lengths snap to the narration.
    2. 2Use the Voiceover track in the timeline to nudge individual clips.
    3. 3Add music on the Music track; ducking keeps the narration on top.
    4. 4Preview with captions enabled to check the words land with the visuals.

    Frequently asked
