Starting Options

Editing content

Chapter management

Adding chapters is a great way to break up your project into smaller, more manageable parts. In the chapters sidebar, you can add, remove, and rename chapters.

Text editing

You can apply voice settings and acting instructions to entire blocks of text, or to specific sections of text within a block.

Adding Pauses

Click the pause button to insert a break in narration. Choose from short, medium or long pauses.

Voice settings

Projects allows you to customize voice characteristics for optimal narration:

• Voice: Choose between our prebuilt voices or create your own custom voice

  

• Acting Instructions: Add descriptive text to modify speech characteristics like emotion, tone, and delivery style

  

• Speed: Adjust playback speed from 0.5x (slower) to 2x (faster)

  

Changing a voice

You can use the Voice Settings button to swap one voice out for another anywhere it appears in your current chapter.

You can also use the Apply button to quickly swap out a voice on an individual block.

Restoring blocks with generation history

You can restore a block to a previous version by clicking the history button in the toolbar. This will open a list of all the generations for that block.

From there, you can preview, download or restore any block from this list.

Export Options

When your project is ready, you have two options for exporting it:

• Single File: Export the entire project as one audio file
• Chapter Files: Export individual audio files for selected chapters
