How to Use Descript Text to Speech

Updated on:
June 5, 2026

Use this interactive demo to learn how to convert written text into AI-generated speech in Descript.

Quick summary

Descript's Text to Speech feature lets you convert written scripts into realistic AI-generated audio using cloned or pre-built voices. You can generate, preview, and edit spoken audio directly inside your Descript project without any external recording equipment.


Steps

  1. Open Descript and either start a new project or open an existing one.
  2. Select "Write AI speech" to launch the text-to-speech tool.
  3. Click the speaker name to assign a voice — choose your cloned voice or one of Descript's pre-built voices.
  4. Type or paste the text you want to convert into speech into the project's script area.
  5. Once done, click on the text and select the play button to preview your generated audio.

📌 Why this matters

Descript's Text to Speech feature matters because it eliminates the need for re-recording voiceovers whenever scripts change, saving creators significant time and production costs. By letting users assign cloned or pre-built AI voices directly inside the editing workflow, Descript streamlines podcast, video, and content production end to end. This makes professional-quality audio accessible to teams without dedicated voice talent or studio equipment, lowering the barrier to high-quality content creation at scale.
