Common tasks
Here is how to perform some common tasks as you start experimenting with Narakeet:
Set the voice-over language
Narakeet supports adding voice to video in many languages. Check out the available voices for an up-to-date list of supported languages and voices.
You can select the main voice for the whole document after uploading.
Add a voice stage direction between the paragraphs in your speaker notes to set the voice for the following text. The instruction should be in brackets, followed by a colon (:) and a number of seconds you want to wait. It’s important to add this into a separate paragraph, so there needs to be a blank line between the instruction and the rest of the text. For example:
First sentence, in the main voice.
(voice: Brian)
Brian will read this sentence.
Check out the Narration format reference for more information.
Switch back to default voice
Add a line with just three dashes (---) in a separate paragraph. This starts a new scene, resetting all voice settings to the defaults.
(voice: Brian)
Brian will read this sentence!
And this one!
---
Your main project voice will read this sentence
Control pronunciation and add pauses in the narration
Add a pause stage direction between the paragraphs. The instruction should be in brackets, followed by a colon (:) and a number of seconds you want to wait. It’s important to add this into a separate paragraph, so there needs to be a blank line between the instruction and the rest of the text. For example, to add a pause of 3 seconds between two sentences, add this to speaker notes:
First sentence, something very
interesting and amusing.
(pause: 3)
Second sentence, even more amusing.
