Voiceover Vs. Text To Speech Feature
People tend to confuse one feature with the other one.
However, there are some key differences when using them.
While both technically add a voiceover, the text to speech feature uses text you write on the app.
But when you use the voiceover button, you can create original sounds with your voice.
Note: The text-to-speech voice recently changed due to voice actor suing the TikTok app.
The original voice was a Siri-like voice, but it has been replaced. Learn more about the text-to-speech on TikTok in our article.
