Glass studio microphone, open script and audio wave
Open AI Studio → Speech to turn written text into narration. Settings configures the next generation; History opens previous speech.

​
Choose a voice

The voice picker has Explore and My Voices, with language, accent, category and gender filters. Preview voices before committing to a long script. Voice choice and delivery settings work together; the same words can sound very different across voices.

​
Choose a model

Model limits vary. Use the character count and selected model’s limit shown in the workspace rather than treating every model as interchangeable.

​
Delivery controls

Some controls depend on the model. Do not expect a disabled setting to affect the result.

​
Expressive scripts

With a compatible expressive model, tags such as [laughs], [whispers] and [sighs] can guide delivery. Place them close to the phrase they should affect. Punctuation and short paragraphs also help make a script easier to speak naturally.

​

Search Speech History for a previous generation. Use restores its text and voice for another narration; Download keeps the audio, and Delete removes an unwanted history item.
