In this article, we will guide you through the steps to add voiceovers to your video guide with Guidde.

Why Voiceovers are Important for Video Guides

Adding a voiceover to your video guide is essential for improving the user experience and understanding of the content. It provides a more engaging and interactive experience, making it easier for viewers to follow along and retain the information. Voiceovers also allow for a personal touch and can help establish trust and credibility with your audience. Additionally, it provides accessibility for those who may have difficulty reading or understanding written text. 

Text to Voice in Video Guides

Text to voice technology is useful for those who want to create high-quality voiceovers quickly and easily without having to record their own audio. It allows for customization of the voice, accent, and language used in the voiceover, and can even be used to generate voiceovers in multiple languages. Text to voice is also useful for those who are not comfortable with recording their own voice or who do not have access to professional recording equipment. 

What’s the Difference Between Voiceovers and Text to Voice? 

Voiceovers and text to voice are two methods of adding audio to video guides. Voiceovers involve recording a human voice to provide narration or instructions for the video content. This approach is ideal when you want to add a personal touch to your video and create a more engaging experience for your viewers. 

‍

On the other hand, text to voice involves using a computer-generated voice to provide audio for the video content. This method is useful when you need to quickly create a voiceover without having to record a human voice. While both methods have their advantages, it ultimately comes down to personal preference and the specific needs of your video content.
