+## How to change the text to speech voice on TikTok
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+From humble beginnings as Musical.ly – a lipsyncing app – to one of the most dominant social media apps, TikTok has become a significant force in culture.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+It has made multi-millionaires out of some of its breakout stars and has helped turn songs into hits.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+In a move that shows the app is also committed to championing accessibility and forward-thinking, TikTok has a Text-to-Speech feature, which uses an in-house AI which reads captions and written text aloud.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+For those with dyslexia or impaired eyesight, this feature makes TikTok a more user-friendly app. The downside, though, is that some TikTok users aren’t crazy about the voice that’s used.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+North American users have recently led the charge in sussing out ways to change the voice, although the replacement didn’t go down well with everyone.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+But, what about UK TikTok users? Can we swap voices in this country too?
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**How to pick a new Text-to-Speech voice on TikTok**
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+First, you have to have the feature turned on.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+To turn on text-to-speech on TikTok:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Select the video where you want the voice feature to be used.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Once the video is saved, select the add text option from the bottom of the screen.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* After writing your text, press and hold on to the text box
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* From the options, select text-to-speech
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* The voice feature will be automatically applied and you can post the video on TikTok
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+However, if you want to change the voice reading out your text, TikTok doesn’t have an inbuilt feature to do that (yet).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+So, you can use voice generators online to change the sound.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+To change the voice, you’ll have to use an app or software that edits videos – some of the most popular text-to-speech websites and voice generators include [uberduck.ai](https://uberduck.ai/#mode=tts-basic), [voicegenerator.io](https://voicegenerator.io/) and [tts.mp3.com](https://ttsmp3.com/).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Some of these sites let you choose recognisable voices, like popular culture characters and celebrities.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Using a site like [Uberduck]((https://uberduck.ai/#mode=tts-basic)), here’s how to change the voice on a TikTok.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Head to the website.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Type the text you want to use into the ‘speech to synthesize’ box.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Choose your voice.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Download the generated MP3 file.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Upload the MP3 file to any video editing app you have and align it with the video you want to upload to TikTok.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Save your new video with the new voice track and upload the video to TikTok.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+These steps may differ between voice modifying apps, but the process will be similar across most of them – you’ll need to download an audio file and add it to a video file using an editor.
