A Speaker label identifies who’s talking in your script. Add a name to organize a recording, or assign a voice to generate text-to-speech audio.

​
Add a speaker label

Use automatic speaker detection to identify voices in a recording, or add labels manually:
  1. Click Add speaker above a paragraph, or place your cursor in the script and press @.
  2. Type a name in Search or create speaker, then choose Create [name]. To use an existing project Speaker, select their name instead.
By default, an assignment applies to the current paragraph and following paragraphs until the next Speaker change. Hold Shift and press Enter when choosing a Speaker to change only the current paragraph. To label a specific range, select the script text before pressing @, then choose a Speaker.

​
Choose an AI voice

  1. Open a Speaker label in the script. If the Speaker with the voice you want is already in this project, select their name from the label menu.
  2. To add another voice, open AI speakers. To assign a custom voice clone that isn’t already in the project, select it from the submenu.
  3. To assign a stock voice instead, choose See more speakers at the bottom of that submenu. Choose a Speaker from the gallery, review its card, then click Save.
To create a project Speaker with a voice or avatar, choose New speaker from the label menu. For the voice setup steps, see Create a custom voice clone or Stock AI voices. Choosing a voice doesn’t replace recorded audio. Use Convert to AI speech for that.

​
Edit a Speaker’s name, color, or voice

  1. Open any instance of the Speaker’s label.
  2. Hover over the Speaker’s row and click Edit speaker.
  3. Edit Speaker name, click Select color to choose a label color, or open the voice control to select another voice.
  4. Click Save.
These edits apply to the Speaker in this project. They don’t rename a custom voice in the drive.

​
Move a Speaker label

  1. Hover over the label and click the reposition icon to its left.
  2. Drag it to a new spot in the script.
Words highlight as you drag. Drop on a word to place the label before it.

​
Replace a Speaker throughout a project

  1. Add the replacement Speaker to the project.
  2. Open an instance of the label you want to replace.
  3. Open Speaker options beside that Speaker’s row.
  4. Choose Replace with speaker throughout project, then select the replacement.

​
Remove a voice from a Speaker

  1. Open the Speaker’s card through Edit speaker.
  2. Click Remove voice beside the voice control, then click Save.
  3. In Save Speaker changes?, click Save changes to confirm, or Cancel to keep the current voice.
Removing the voice from this project Speaker doesn’t delete the voice clone from the drive.

​
Remove a Speaker label or project Speaker

To remove one label assignment, use Remove speaker label beside that label. To delete a Speaker from the project, open the label menu, then Speaker options beside that Speaker’s row, and choose Delete from project.
