AI Voiceover Customization Controls

Customize AI voiceovers in Biteable using advanced controls to create personalized, dynamic narration for your videos. This guide shows you how to fine-tune your voiceovers.

Common Questions:
How do I add a pause in my voiceover?
How do I control the speed of my voiceover?

Biteable uses Amazon for AI voices. Amazon voices support SSML for modifying voices. Not all voices are supported for their full set of SSML controls, but we have provided information on how you can make certain adjustments to voices in this guide below.

If you apply a voice customization control in your voiceover and receive an error, or do not hear the effect in the final output, the voice you have chosen may not be supported for that type of customization. Please choose a different voice and try again or reach out to support for assistance.
