AI Voiceover
32 curated voices in 32+ languages with one-click voice cloning.
AI Voiceover
Need a voiceover but don’t have a microphone, a quiet room, or the right voice? ChatCut generates natural-sounding voiceovers in 32+ languages and places them directly on your timeline.
Don’t click through menus. Just tell ChatCut what you want. Type “Add a voiceover reading this script in a warm female voice” and it’s done.
Dual-Engine Voice Generation
ChatCut uses two best-in-class engines, each handling what it does best:
- ElevenLabs – 18 English voices covering 32+ languages, industry-leading naturalness for English and European content
- Doubao / SeedTTS 2.0 – 14 Chinese-optimized voices, purpose-built for Mandarin with native tone accuracy and prosody
The engines aren’t interchangeable; they’re specialized. English content gets ElevenLabs’ natural cadence. Chinese content gets Doubao’s native pronunciation. You pick the voice, and ChatCut routes to the right engine.
32 Curated Voices
ChatCut doesn’t dump thousands of voices on you. We’ve curated 32 that actually sound good:
- 18 English voices – ranging from professional narrator to casual conversational, male and female, various ages and tones
- 14 Chinese voices – Mandarin-optimized with proper tonal accuracy, storytelling to business presentation styles
Every voice is pre-tested for clarity, naturalness, and consistency across long reads. You won’t find robotic-sounding options here.

One-Click Voice Cloning
Have a specific voice you want to use? Record just 10 seconds of audio, and ChatCut clones the voice for AI generation. Your cloned voice works across any script, any language the engine supports. It’s that simple.
This is available on every plan, not locked behind an enterprise tier.
Voice cloning is useful for:
- Consistent branding – use your voice (or your host’s voice) without recording every line
- Multilingual content – generate your voice speaking languages you don’t
- Iteration – re-record narration without booking studio time
- Accessibility – create voiceovers when recording isn’t physically possible

Automatic Timeline Placement
Generated voiceovers aren’t dumped into a download folder. They land directly on your timeline at the playhead position, properly aligned with your video content. There’s no importing, no manual syncing.
Need to adjust timing? Drag the audio clip on the timeline like any other element. Need to regenerate a section? Select the text, regenerate, and the new audio replaces the old one in place.
Speed Control
Every voiceover can be generated at speeds from 0.5x to 2.0x:
- 0.5x – slow, deliberate narration for tutorials or dramatic content
- 1.0x – natural speaking pace
- 1.2x-1.5x – slightly faster for energetic content or when matching tight video timing
- 2.0x – rapid narration for time-constrained formats
Speed is set before generation, so the AI optimizes pronunciation and pacing for your chosen speed. It’s not a post-processed pitch shift.
Pricing That Makes Sense
- ElevenLabs voices – ~0.08 credits per second of generated audio
- Chinese voices (Doubao) – ~0.03 credits per second
A 60-second voiceover costs roughly 4.8 credits (English) or 1.8 credits (Chinese). Compare that to hiring a voice actor on Voices.com, booking studio time, and managing revisions.

You Describe the Edit. ChatCut Executes It.
The AI agent handles voiceover as part of your editing workflow. You can combine it with other operations naturally. Here’s an example:
“Add a voiceover reading the intro script, then add captions synced to it, and background music at 20% volume.”
That’s three operations: voiceover generation, caption creation, music addition, handled in one instruction.
