Voiceover

Learn how to add voiceovers to your how-to videos.

Updated this week

Guidde enables you to add audio after video capture instead of recording it simultaneously:

  1. Record a voiceover by narrating your video step by step with your own voice.

  2. Convert transcript into a voiceover with our Text-to-Voice feature.

  3. Upload MP3/WAV files to transcribe your voice recordings.


Guidde supports 40+ languages and over 200 natural-sounding voices, enabling you to select a voice that suits your needs based on gender and accent. Check the list of options available here: Supported languages.


Record a voiceover

1. During video editing, click the 'Voiceover' button to start adding a voiceover for the current step.


2. Choose the language for automatic transcription.

3. Select the microphone device you want to use for recording.

4. Start recording by pressing the red 'Rec' button. To stop, click 'Stop'; if you want to redo it, click 'Restart'.

5. Once you've stopped, you can play, restart, or delete the recording.

6. Click 'Add Voiceover' to save the recorded voiceover for the step.
