Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to go from idea to voiced content.

What Is VoiceUp?

What is VoiceUp and who is it for?

VoiceUp is an AI voice production studio for content creators. Write a script, upload a video, narrate a slide deck, or voice-over a screen recording — then export in your own voice, in any language. Built for YouTubers, educators, marketers, and course creators who want to reach global audiences without a microphone, studio, or translation agency.

What makes VoiceUp different from other tools?

VoiceUp is the only tool that covers all five production workflows in one place: dub an existing video, turn a script into audio, narrate a slide deck, voice-over a screen recording, or assemble multiple scenes into a movie. Every workflow lets you read and edit the transcript before generating — no black-box processing, no surprises.

What languages does VoiceUp support?

Translation is available for 8 target languages: Hindi, Telugu, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese, and Chinese (Simplified). Voice generation covers 20+ languages via Natural AI and Premium voices — so you can generate audio in languages beyond those 8 even without a built-in translation step.

Getting Started

How do I create my first project?

Sign in and pick a workflow from the dashboard — Dub a Video, From Script, From Slides, Voice Over Video, or Make a Movie. Each workflow walks you through the steps from there.

What video formats and lengths are supported?

Most common formats work — MP4, MOV, MKV, AVI. Free plan: up to 10 minutes per file. Pro and Studio plans have no per-file length limit.

How long does transcription take?

Typically 1–3 minutes for a 5-minute video. Transcription runs in the background — you can leave the page and come back.

My transcript has errors — what should I do?

Click any segment in the transcript editor to edit the text directly. You can also remove filler words automatically, merge short segments, or delete segments you don't want voiced.

Other Workflows

How does Script to Audio work?

Paste or type your script on the dashboard using the 'From Script' workflow. VoiceUp splits it into segments, lets you assign a voice per segment, and generates the full audio track — no video file needed. Export as MP3/WAV or combine with a video. Available on Pro and Studio plans.

How does Slides to Video work?

Upload a PDF or PPTX file. VoiceUp converts each slide into a still-image clip, lets you write or edit the narration per slide, generates the voice-over, and combines them into a video. Audio syncs to the slide timing automatically. Available on Pro and Studio plans.

What is Voice Over Video, and how is it different from dubbing?

Dubbing replaces the original audio with a translation. Voice Over Video keeps the original video and lays a new voice track on top — useful for adding commentary, replacing your own narration, or producing a scripted explanation over a screen recording. Available on Pro and Studio plans.

What is Movie Assembly?

Movie Assembly lets you combine multiple VoiceUp projects (scenes) into a single video. Each scene is a separate project with its own voice-over. Assemble them in any order and export as one file — useful for course modules, series episodes, or multi-segment presentations. Pro plan: up to 5 scenes. Studio: unlimited.

Translation

How do I translate my video to another language?

After transcription, open the project and click 'Translate'. Select your target language from the dropdown and hit Translate. It completes in seconds.

Can I review the translated text before generating voice?

Yes. After translation, the transcript editor shows a 'Translated' view — switch to it to read through the translated segments before generating.

Can I translate the same video into multiple languages at once?

Yes. Use Batch Translate to create translated copies in multiple languages simultaneously. Pro plan supports up to 3 languages per batch. Studio plan has no limit.

Choosing a Voice

What is the difference between Basic, Natural AI and Premium voices?

Basic voices are simple and instant — functional, good for drafts. Natural AI voices are human-quality neural voices — natural, clear, recommended for most users. Premium voices offer the highest quality with 29-language support and voice cloning.

Which voice gives the best quality?

Premium voices give the best results for most languages. For Telugu specifically, use Natural AI → Shruti — Premium does not support Telugu.

Do Premium voices work for Hindi, Spanish and other languages?

Yes. Premium voices use a multilingual model that speaks 29 languages. Select any Premium voice — it will automatically speak in your target language.

Why is Telugu not available in Premium voices?

Telugu is not currently supported by the Premium voice engine. Use Natural AI → Shruti for Telugu voice-over instead.

Do I need to select 'Use translation' when generating voice?

Yes — if you want the output to speak in the translated language, make sure the 'Use [language] translation' checkbox is checked before hitting Generate. When a translation exists, this is pre-checked automatically.

Voice Cloning

What is voice cloning?

Voice cloning lets VoiceUp learn your voice and generate audio in your own voice — in any language. Instead of a generic AI voice, the output sounds like you speaking Hindi, Spanish, or any of the 29 supported languages.

How do I clone my voice?

You can clone your voice two ways: from the dashboard using the 'Clone Voice' option (upload a clear audio sample), or from the voice picker inside a project by clicking 'Extract voice from this video'. You need at least 30 seconds of clear speech. Available on Pro (1 voice) and Studio (3 voices) plans.

Can my cloned voice speak Hindi or Spanish?

Yes. Your cloned voice uses the same multilingual engine as other Premium voices — it can speak all 29 supported languages including Hindi, Spanish, French, German and more.

Export & Download

How do I download my video?

After voice generation completes, click 'Export Video'. Once processing finishes (1–3 minutes), a Download button appears. The video includes your original visuals with the new audio track.

Can I add subtitles to the exported video?

Yes. In the Export options, enable 'Burn subtitles' and choose whether to use the original or translated text. Subtitles are burned directly into the video.

My export showed an error — what do I do?

Try exporting again — most errors are transient. If the issue repeats, check that your project title uses standard characters. If it persists, contact us and include the project name so we can investigate.

What does the Free plan include?

Billing & Account

Do you offer refunds?

First-time paid subscribers can request a full refund within 7 days of their first charge. After that, we offer service credits if a system error consumed your voice minutes. See our Refund Policy for details.

Can I delete my account and all my data?
