You can turn any Text layer into a Speech audio layer in the Creative Editor.
Speech layer options include several different narrators and Playback speed options to best showcase your product or service:
- Language acts as a filter for narrator options. When you select a language, you see only the narrators who match your selection.
- Narrator defines the narrator voice. You can either select a narrator from the list, or use a feed as input.
- Speed defines the speed of the narration. This can also be set through a feed.
- Volume controls the volume level of the speech layer.
