How to add voiceover and captions

Turn text, uploaded audio, or recorded speech into voiceover and readable captions for a short video.

A video often looks finished before it sounds finished. Voice and captions make the story understandable when viewers watch with or without sound.

Givon AI supports generated voice, uploaded audio, and transcription-based captions inside the project workflow.

Add voice after the visual rhythm is roughly clear. Audio often changes scene length, cuts, and where captions should appear.

Voice sources

Text to speech: Write narration and generate a voice track.
Own audio: Upload or record speech when a specific voice matters.
Project media: Reuse existing audio from a project when it already matches the video.

A project with a rough visual sequence or at least one scene.

Arrange the main scenes before finalizing narration.

Choose a voice workflow, enter text or upload audio, and listen to the result.

Generate captions from transcription and check the wording.

Move scene lengths, pauses, or text blocks so speech and visual cuts feel natural.

Make sure captions carry the core message when the viewer watches muted.

Can I use my own voice?

Yes. Upload or record audio when the exact voice is important.

Should captions be added to every short video?

For social video, usually yes. Many viewers watch with sound off.

Result

The video becomes understandable as a full piece, not only as a sequence of visuals.
