Add AI narration to a text block

CourseConverter can generate spoken narration for any paragraph in your course using AI voices. It's useful for accessibility, for learners who prefer listening, and for giving courses a more polished, presented feel.

What you need

AI narration is a Pro feature and uses your own OpenAI API key. If you haven't added one yet, go to Billing and add your OpenAI key — it's the same key that powers AI image generation. Narration is billed by OpenAI directly to your account, and is typically a fraction of a cent per paragraph.

Adding narration

Open a text block for editing and look in the toolbar for the soundwave icon, next to the audio (music note) button. Click it to open the narration dialog. Choose one of the nine voices, then select Generate narration. After a few seconds you'll hear a preview. If you're happy with it, choose Add narration and an audio player is inserted into the block. If not, pick a different voice and regenerate, or discard.

Editing the text later

The narration is a separate audio player, so if you change the wording after generating it, the audio won't update automatically. Just delete the old player and generate fresh narration to match your new text.

Where narration plays

The audio player appears in the course preview and in both SCORM and HTML exports, so your learners can play it wherever the course is hosted.

A note on AI voices

Narration is generated by an AI voice, not a human recording. We show a short note to that effect in the editor, and you may wish to mention it to your learners depending on your context.
