How does the timing engine work for voice recording?
simpleshow video maker has several options to add your own voice to videos. You can either record scene by scene directly in the tool, or upload audio files you’ve recorded outside of simpleshow video maker. No matter what you choose, the timing engine works with all options!
But what exactly does the timing engine do? Our intelligent technology synchronizes your spoken words with the video. For example, if your text reads:
“Tom works as a project manager at simpleshow.”
the timing engine recognizes the individual words in the sentence and when exactly they are said. You can vary the speed within the sentence, for example, or include pauses in your speech. The technology analyzes the words and places the illustrations exactly when the corresponding words are spoken. It’s even smart enough to match abbreviations and numbers. This works for all 20+ languages offered in simpleshow video maker!

It takes only a little preparation to create high-quality voice recordings that will add that special touch to your video. Here are a few tips:
1. Find a room with good acoustics. A small room with low ceilings is especially good for this. If your room reverberates a lot when you speak, simply place a light blanket over your head, laptop, and microphone while recording to muffle the reverb.
2. Warm up your voice and make sure you drink enough while recording. Still, water is best here; coffee, on the other hand, irritates the vocal cords. For better articulation, try a few tongue twisters before recording.
3. Decide how you want your recording to sound. More businesslike or relaxed and humorous? In general, it’s a good idea to speak a little slower than you normally would. Also, make sure to consciously emphasize your text and give it highs and lows. This will help you avoid a monotonous recording that will put off viewers rather than motivate them.
