What is voice to video AI?

Voice to video AI is software that builds a video around a voice. Upload a voice recording and Pictory turns it into a video with matching visuals and captions. Or start from a script and Pictory’s AI voice video generator reads it in one of 170+ AI voices.

Any video can have a voice. Add an AI voiceover to a video you already have, clone your own voice, or put an AI speaker on screen with an avatar.

Pictory is an AI voice and video generator in one: speech to video AI for recordings, and an AI video generator with voiceover for scripts. It runs online in 29+ languages, and you can add AI voice to video free on a trial.
