How can I make sure that AI-generated voice matches up with video transitions?
Hello everyone! I’m new to e-learning and am working on creating a public course. Since I’m not a native English speaker, I plan to use AI text-to-speech for the narration. My question is:
What techniques can I use to ensure the AI voice is perfectly in sync with video transitions? For instance, if the script says “let’s look at this XYZ,” and XYZ appears in the video with animation, how can I make sure the voice aligns with these changes?
It really depends on the tools you’re using. Some software has automated sync features that handle this for you, while others require you to manually align the voice with each slide and asset. You can usually find specific guidance by searching online for the software you’re working with.
Exactly. You’ll need to do some additional research. Honestly, I’m not aware of any tool that can automatically process both video and audio files and produce a final video with synced audio. Typically, you’ll have to manually sync the audio by placing it on a timeline within a video editing software.
I have a quick question about this, my boss asked me to explore AI voiceovers because they’re consistent, easy, and cost-effective. However, even the high-quality ones I’ve encountered still sound quite robotic. For training purposes, I believe a more personalized touch is needed. Maybe AI will improve in a few years, but for now, it feels off when you listen to it.
How is everyone else handling training voiceovers? Is AI becoming a standard in the industry?
I’m also curious about which AI voiceovers are considered good. I had a free trial with Colossyan, and a colleague tried Synthesia, but the feedback was that they still sound somewhat robotic and unnatural, especially with the talking avatar. We’re working on e-learning courses primarily using PowerPoint slides and need voiceover support.
Additionally, since we don’t have an instructional designer and I’m new to this field, I’m looking for e-learning course creation tools that include AI voiceover features. This would help us avoid relying heavily on finding presenters to record or present the content. Does anyone have any recommendations?
You’re talking about syncing text or images in the video with the audio, right? Most editing software comes with a timeline feature. If you record the AI voiceovers as separate audio files, you can simply place them on the timeline to match your animations and vice versa.
Hi, as mentioned earlier, it really depends on the tool you’re using. I’m using Murf, which is an excellent AI voice-over tool. It allows you to adjust the pronunciation of specific words and easily manage the timeline. You can also export subtitles in various file formats.
To ensure AI voice is synchronized with video, use video editing software that allows precise audio alignment. Import both the video and AI voice track, then manually adjust the timing or use auto-synchronization features to match the lip movements accurately.
