How to turn text into realistic AI voice audio

1Type or paste in your text
In a new Descript project, type out your script in the text editor or paste in the text you want to generate speech from. You can also use the Ask AI command in the Actions menu to write a script for you based on whatever criteria you want.
2Choose an AI voice or clone your own
Press ‘@’ to assign a speaker to your script. You can enter a new speaker name and then Enable speech generation to start the process of cloning your voice. Or you can select Browse stock AI speakers to choose from a library of realistic stock voices, emotions, and styles.
3Generate your AI speech
The script will flash briefly to indicate your speech is being generated. Once that’s done, you can play back your newly generated voice audio, continue in an audio or video project, or export it by clicking Publish.
