Document Settings
You can change the voice or speed at any time in the settings of your document. To do this, open the document’s context menu and click on “Settings.”
General Settings
You can configure the following settings.
- Title
- Every document needs a title. 😉
- Language
- Select the language for the audio description. The selection determines which voices you can later use to read aloud.
- Note (optional)
- Add a short note if necessary. It will be displayed in the project overview to the right of the document title.
- Editor Mode
- Decide whether you want to work with instructions or not. For classic manuscripts (used for recordings in a recording studio), the “Script with instructions” option is recommended. For text-to-speech audio description, the text alone is usually sufficient, so you can typically work with “Script without instructions”.
Voice Output
You can configure the following settings.
- Default Voices
- Set the default voice for your document. New texts will automatically be read out with this voice. You can change this later for each text block. “Standard-B” from Google has proven itself for many manuscripts and is therefore automatically selected for new documents.
- Update Existing Text Blocks (optional)
- This option is available if you have already created texts in the document and now want to change the voice for all texts.*
- Speed
- You can change the speed of the synthetic voice for this document. This makes sense, for example, if you are describing an action film where the speed for the descriptions should generally be faster. On the other hand, it could be useful to slow down the pace a little for documentaries. Note: The value set here refers to the speaking rate for the “normal” setting. The values for “fast” and “very fast” adjust automatically in the editor. **
- Test (optional)
- In this field, you can enter a short text and play it to get an impression of the currently selected voice and the set speed.
* Tip: If you only want to adjust individual text blocks, it is better to use batch processing.
** Tip: When creating a new document, leave the speed at “100%”. You can change it later if you notice that the tempo in the editor isn’t quite right. If you update the speed in the document settings, all existing descriptions will be automatically adjusted.
