Why Does Clipchamp Offer Only Some Text-to-Speech Voices? | Solutions
Question details
The user wants to understand why Clipchamp only offers a limited selection of text-to-speech voices and how to access other unavailable voices.
- Product
- Clipchamp
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Using the text-to-speech tool for video generation and editing.
- Observed behavior
- The application displays a restricted list of text-to-speech voices, lacking certain options the user expects to see.
Ensure you have a stable internet connection, as Clipchamp's text-to-speech engine relies on cloud-based Microsoft Azure services to load and generate voices.
Adjust the Language and Region Settings in Clipchamp
Clipchamp filters available voices based on the exact language and region you select. Changing the region can reveal hidden voice options.
Launch your Clipchamp project, navigate to the left sidebar, click on 'Record & create', and select the 'Text to speech' option.
Click the language dropdown menu and select different regional variations. For example, selecting Spanish (Panama) will specifically provide the Margarita and Roberto voices, which are unavailable in other Spanish regions.
Import Voices from Azure Speech Studio
Since Clipchamp is powered by Azure cloud services, you can bypass Clipchamp's interface limits by generating audio directly in Azure Speech Studio and importing it.
Elevate Your Presentations with WPS Office
While resolving Microsoft ecosystem limits like Clipchamp's voice options, consider WPS Office as a free, lightweight, and user-friendly alternative for all your document processing needs. You can easily insert your exported media into professional presentations.
- 1. Download the Installer: Visit the official WPS Office website and click the free download button for your operating system.
- 2. Install the Suite: Run the setup file and follow the straightforward on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
- 3. Create and Embed Media: Open WPS Presentation, create a new slideshow, and go to the 'Insert' tab to add your customized audio and video files directly into your project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I upload custom text-to-speech voices to Clipchamp?
No, Clipchamp does not support uploading custom voice models directly into its built-in text-to-speech tool. However, you can generate audio using external custom voice generators and import the resulting audio files into your media library.
Why do some voices suddenly disappear from Clipchamp?
Voice availability in Clipchamp is dependent on Microsoft Azure cloud services. Voices may occasionally be removed, updated, or temporarily unavailable due to server-side changes or maintenance in the Azure network.
Are all text-to-speech voices in Clipchamp free?
While Clipchamp offers a wide variety of free voices, certain premium, highly realistic AI voices may require a paid Microsoft 365 or Clipchamp Premium subscription to export without watermarks.
