Pro Tip: The narration language doesn’t have to match the language of the original file. Our AI Speaker Generator supports over 40 languages, allowing you to generate your guidde in any selected language.

New! On the Enterprise plan, you can now easily adjust the visual content in your file to match the selected language - even if it’s different from the original file’s language.

10. If you want to translate the visual content to match the selected narration language, toggle on Translate visual content. If left off, the file will keep its original visual content while using the narration language you selected, giving you full control over how your guidde is generated.

Translate visual content is available on the Enterprise plan.

Turn On Translation Feature

11. You can adjust your guidde’s detail level to control how much information is included in the output:

  • Brief - Covers only the key points for a quick, concise guidde.

  • Standard - Includes main points along with context (this is the default setting).

  • Comprehensive - Provides full explanations with a more detailed walkthrough.​

12. Once everything is set, click Generate Guidde.

You can click it right away if you’re not making any changes.
