Text-to-speech is the engine of every faceless short — but a raw TTS file isn't a video. Nova finishes the job: paste your script, pick a voice, and it reads the text aloud over looping gameplay with captions synced to the speech. Text-to-speech in, a captioned vertical short out, no recording and no editor.

## What you get

### TTS that becomes a video

Most TTS tools hand you an audio file. Nova lays the generated speech over a looping gameplay background and burns in captions — a finished short, not just a voice track you'd still have to edit onto footage.

### Eleven voices to read your script

Pick the text-to-speech voice per video and Nova synthesizes your script — or a Reddit thread — in it, no recording, no takes, no cleanup.

### Captions synced to the speech

Nova transcribes the TTS narration it generates to time word-by-word captions exactly to the voice — the kinetic-caption look, timed automatically.

## FAQ

### Can I turn text to speech into a video?

Yes — paste your script into Nova's faceless mode and it reads the text with a text-to-speech AI voice, lays the speech over looping gameplay, and burns in word-by-word captions timed to the narration. A finished vertical short from text alone.

### How many voices are there?

Eleven AI voices, selectable per video. Nova synthesizes your script in the chosen voice and times the captions to that speech automatically.

### Is it free?

Text-to-speech video generation runs AI voice synthesis per render, so it's a paid feature. Nova's regular AI clipping is free to try — 60 minutes a month, no card.
