Voices and narration
Choose a narrator from Kokoro (free, on your PC), OpenRouter or Kinisma voices, or ElevenLabs, set the language, and change the voice later in the chat.
Every video is narrated. Choose the voice in the New video window, or ask for a different one later in the chat.

Even volume, natural reading
- Voice-over loudness is levelled automatically, so every scene sits at the same volume. There's nothing to set.
- The narration is written as one natural spoken script: numbers, symbols and acronyms are written the way they're said, and a check catches lines a voice would stumble over.
Change the voice later
Say it in the chat: "use a deeper male voice", "switch to a British accent", "narrate in Spanish". The agent re-records the narration and keeps the timing in step.
Listen to the narration
