Text to speech for video narration turns a written script into the audio track your edit is built around. Done well, it feels directed — not like a robot reading a document.

FAQ
Is TTS narration better than recording myself?
It is faster and more consistent. Record yourself when personal trust is the product; use TTS when speed and packaging matter more.
Can I narrate long videos with TTS?
Yes — generate in sections so you can revise one chapter without regenerating everything.
