How to use text to speech on TikTok

If you’ve been watching many TikToks, you’ve undoubtedly seen videos where a cheerful Ai voice reads its title or text to you. It’s a helpful accessibility feature for people with visual impairments to watch TikToks without reading any text on the screen. Here’s how to use text-to-speech on TikTok and choose which speech bot you want to narrate your videos.

How to do text-to-speech on TikTok

To implement text-to-speech on your next TikTok, record or upload a video as usual until you arrive at the editing stage. Select the “Aa” icon to add text to your video.

Type in the message you wish the AI to read aloud, then select text-to-speech with the third icon from the left that looks like a talking head. After selecting the icon, you should see a small checkmark beside it to indicate that text-to-speech has been added.

To change the voice of text-to-speech, select your text and tap Change voice.

You’ll then see a selection of the most popular voices. Some voices are seasonal, and some stay on the app forever. Tap on each of them to hear how your text sounds in the different voices.

Tap Done in the top right corner when you’ve selected your favorite voice. If you like how it sounds, save the audio clip for later use in future videos.
