Text to speech video

Text to speech video maker in 74 languages.

RiffAds is a text to speech video maker for ads. It turns your script into an AI voiceover in 74 languages, then lip-syncs it onto an AI actor or lays it over B-roll with Merge Layers.

The short answer

What is a text to speech video maker?

A text to speech video maker turns a written script into an AI voiceover and puts that voice in a video, with no voice actor. In RiffAds you pick the voice, the language and the delivery, then lip-sync it onto an AI actor or lay it over B-roll with Merge Layers. Every voiceover is priced before it is made.

Best for

  • Ads in many languages
  • Talking actor ads
  • Voiceover on B-roll and demos
  • Teams without a voice actor
  • Agents that script and voice ads

How it works

  1. 01

    Write the script

    Paste your ad script, up to 1,500 characters, or draft one with the AI writer in a workflow.

  2. 02

    Pick a voice

    Choose a library voice, set the language and the delivery, and add emotion cues where you want them.

  3. 03

    See the cost

    The studio prices the voiceover by the characters in your script and shows the credits before anything runs.

  4. 04

    Use the voiceover

    Download the audio, lay it over B-roll with Merge Layers, or send it to a talking actor: OmniHuman 1.5 takes under 60 seconds of audio, and MiniMax H3 Max Lip Sync takes 5 to under 14.8 seconds.

06FAQ

AI text to speech, answered.

Still unsure? Book a call

Yes. The RiffAds Terms let you use library voices and your outputs in paid ads and client work. Two limits apply. Only use a recording of your own voice, or of someone who gave you written consent. And never let the voice speak as a customer who does not exist or never used the product. The FTC's reviews and testimonials rule bans fake testimonials like that.

Yes, for an ad built in TikTok Ads Manager. TikTok's ad policy counts audio that is completely AI-generated as content that needs a disclaimer, so turn on 'This ad contains AI-generated content' or add your own clear label, or the ad can be rejected or restricted. Spark Ads follow the Community Guidelines instead: generic text to speech that is not a recognizable voice needs no label there, but a realistic AI person on screen does.

Yes, as a recording. Upload an MP3, WAV, OGG or WEBM file of you speaking, and a talking actor lip-syncs to it with no text to speech step, so no voiceover is charged. Speech to Speech can also re-voice that recording in a library voice and keep your timing. Only upload your own voice, or one whose speaker gave you written consent.

Yes. Add emotion cues such as excited, happy, serious, whisper, sad, laugh or a short pause where you want them in the script, and the voice reads them as directions, not words. Voiceovers come in 74 languages. If the script is in a different language from the voice, RiffAds translates the text before the voice reads it, and your emotion cues stay where you put them.

Text to speech starts from words: you type a script and get new speech. A voice changer starts from a recording: it keeps the timing and delivery of the performance and swaps the voice. RiffAds has both. Text to Speech makes a voiceover from a script, Speech to Speech re-voices an audio file, and Change Voice re-voices the speech inside a video.

A voiceover is billed by the characters in the script, and the studio shows the credits before you generate. A script of about 30 seconds costs about 8 credits. A full 30 second talking actor ad, voice included, is about 848 credits. 1 credit is $0.01, credits never expire, and plans start at $49 a month.

Yes. Through the API, MCP, Agent Skills and CLI, an agent such as Claude can list voices, get a free price quote and make a voiceover from the same credit balance as the studio. Its spending is capped by limits a person sets, which start at 600 credits per job and 2,000 per day.
