# AI Voiceover Source: [AI Voiceover]() Content index: [llms.txt]() Last updated: 2026-04-13 [Features](https://pr-444-preview.chatcut.dev/features) 32 curated voices in 32+ languages with direct timeline placement. ## AI Voiceover Need a voiceover but don’t have a microphone, a quiet room, or the right voice? ChatCut generates natural-sounding voiceovers in 32+ languages and places them directly on your timeline. **Don’t click through menus. Just tell ChatCut what you want.** Type “Add a voiceover reading this script in a warm female voice” and it’s done. ![Voiceover Studio](https://pr-444-preview.chatcut.dev/page-images/ai-voiceover.jpg) Voice picker and waveform editor ## Dual-Engine Voice Generation ChatCut uses two best-in-class engines, each handling what it does best: - **ElevenLabs** – 18 English voices covering 32+ languages, industry-leading naturalness for English and European content - **Doubao / SeedTTS 2.0** – 14 Chinese-optimized voices, purpose-built for Mandarin with native tone accuracy and prosody The engines aren’t interchangeable; they’re specialized. English content gets ElevenLabs’ natural cadence. Chinese content gets Doubao’s native pronunciation. You pick the voice, and ChatCut routes to the right engine. * * * ## 32 Curated Voices ChatCut doesn’t dump thousands of voices on you. We’ve curated 32 that actually sound good: - **18 English voices** – ranging from professional narrator to casual conversational, male and female, various ages and tones - **14 Chinese voices** – Mandarin-optimized with proper tonal accuracy, storytelling to business presentation styles Every voice is pre-tested for clarity, naturalness, and consistency across long reads. You won’t find robotic-sounding options here. 1 #### Write or paste your script Enter the text you want spoken, or let the AI write it from your description 2 #### Choose a voice Browse 32 curated voices optimized for narration, demos, and social clips 3 #### Adjust speed Set playback speed from 0.5x to 2.0x to match your video's pacing 4 #### Generate and place The voiceover is generated and placed on your timeline automatically * * * ## Voice Selection Without the Sprawl Need a narrator, explainer voice, or product demo read? Pick from the curated voice library and generate a clean take from your script. ChatCut focuses on reliable production voices that work inside the editor. Curated voices are useful for: - **Consistent narration** – keep a recognizable style across a series - **Multilingual content** – create localized reads from one script - **Iteration** – re-record narration without booking studio time - **Accessibility** – create voiceovers when recording isn’t physically possible Try this prompt ```text Generate a warm voiceover reading the script on screen at speed 1.1x ``` Result Voiceover generated from a curated voice, script narrated at 1.1x speed, placed on timeline below the video track * * * ## Automatic Timeline Placement Generated voiceovers aren’t dumped into a download folder. They land directly on your timeline at the playhead position, properly aligned with your video content. There’s no importing, no manual syncing. Need to adjust timing? Drag the audio clip on the timeline like any other element. Need to regenerate a section? Select the text, regenerate, and the new audio replaces the old one in place. * * * ## Speed Control Every voiceover can be generated at speeds from 0.5x to 2.0x: - **0.5x** – slow, deliberate narration for tutorials or dramatic content - **1.0x** – natural speaking pace - **1.2x-1.5x** – slightly faster for energetic content or when matching tight video timing - **2.0x** – rapid narration for time-constrained formats Speed is set before generation, so the AI optimizes pronunciation and pacing for your chosen speed. It’s not a post-processed pitch shift. * * * ## Pricing That Makes Sense - **ElevenLabs voices** – ~0.08 credits per second of generated audio - **Chinese voices (Doubao)** – ~0.03 credits per second A 60-second voiceover costs roughly 4.8 credits (English) or 1.8 credits (Chinese). Compare that to hiring a voice actor on Voices.com, booking studio time, and managing revisions. | Feature | ChatCut | ElevenLabs (standalone) | | --- | --- | --- | | Editor integration | Voiceover lands on your video timeline | Download file, import to editor manually | | Timeline placement | Automatic at playhead position | Manual import and sync | | Chinese voices | 14 dedicated Mandarin voices (Doubao) | Limited Chinese voice selection | | Curated voices | 32 production-ready voices | Large standalone voice library | | Video editing | Full editor: trim, layer, export | Audio only, no video tools | | Feature | ChatCut | Murf AI | | --- | --- | --- | | Curated voices | 32 production-ready voices | Large standalone voice library | | Languages | 32+ via ElevenLabs + Mandarin via Doubao | 20+ languages | | Timeline integration | Direct placement on video timeline | Separate export required | | Speed control | 0.5x to 2.0x | Limited speed options | | Video editing | Complete video editor included | Basic video sync only | * * * ## You Describe the Edit. ChatCut Executes It. The AI agent handles voiceover as part of your editing workflow. You can combine it with other operations naturally. Here’s an example: “Add a voiceover reading the intro script, then add captions synced to it, and background music at 20% volume.” That’s three operations: voiceover generation, [caption creation](https://pr-444-preview.chatcut.dev/features/ai-captions), [music addition](https://pr-444-preview.chatcut.dev/features/ai-music), handled in one instruction.
