Then, you're pretty much all set! You can add closed captioning yourself if you'd like, and your voiceover is complete – not just with TikTok's own voice-to-text feature, but your very own Siri computer voice. Make sure your phone is somewhat close to the second device's speakers so Siri's voice crisp and loud.
Once you're ready, tap the record button and immediately click play on the Online Tone Generator on your second device. Before you actually record, make sure to either check or uncheck the "Keep original audio" option, depending on if you want some of that background sound. You'll have to scroll down a bit for that.īack on the TikTok app, hit "Voiceover" on the right side of the screen. There are plenty to choose from, but the standard Siri voice is named Samantha. Here, you can type whatever text you want, and click "Play" to hear it in a computerized voice. Head to another phone or computer and go to the Online Tone Generator website. You'll need a second device for this part. Whether you're shooting a new video or just uploading footage, get all your clips in one place and ready to go! Then, click the check mark to move to the next page in the TikTok app.
In this tutorial, we'll explain how to use the actual Siri voice as a voiceover in your video! Let's get into it. That's why TikTok just added their own in-app text-to-voice tool, but it's not the Siri voice you might be used to. If you want to activate Siri with a button: Turn on Press Side Button for Siri (on an iPhone with Face ID) or Press Home for Siri (on an iPhone with a Home button). If you want to activate Siri with your voice: Turn on Listen for Hey Siri. But what if you want to use a computer voice, and not your own? If you didn’t set up Siri when you first set up your iPhone, go to Settings > Siri & Search, then do any of the following. Thankfully, that's gotten easier over time, with a formalized voiceover tool. A good rule of thumb is to use the reverse DNS convention when choosing an identifier for your shortcut.Since the beginning of TikTok, it's been a trend to make voiceovers. This is the identifier you’ll use to determine if you’re dealing with a “new article” shortcut. Open Article.swift and, at the top of the file under the imports, add the following constant string definition: You’ll do so by adding a new method that allows you to generate these activity objects. Your goal is to donate one of these activities to the system every time your user performs that action.
This is the perfect candidate for creating a shortcut based on an NSUserActivity object, because it’ll take the user from Siri into your app. Your first shortcut is one that lets a user go straight to the new article screen. Making a Shortcut for Writing New Articles With an intent, you can communicate with your user via Siri without ever having to open your app. Custom Intents: Creating a custom intent is the true power of shortcuts.The thing to remember here is that this option is only useful when you want the user to go from Siri into your app to complete a task. NSUserActivity: User activities are part of an existing API that allows you to expose certain things a user can do for app hand-off and Spotlight searches.Once you’ve decided to set up a shortcut, there are two ways to create it:
Ideally, you should create shortcuts for actions your user can perform preferably, something they’ll likely do repeatedly. The first thing to consider is which features of your app are appropriate for turning into shortcuts. Ready to begin? Great! Adding Shortcuts to an App The big idea here is to write an article, sit on it for a little bit, and then publish it later - provided you’re still happy with it.
From here, you can add new articles and publish the drafts you’ve previously saved. Then, run the app, and you’ll see a home screen that shows all of the written articles. Set the bundle ID to something unique to you (Apple recommends using a reverse DNS name such as ). Although the Simulator works, it behaves differently with a few things.
Theres a Robots Pack built-in, featuring presets like Android Butler and Robot Countdown. Itll allow you to create a voice similar to Siri, or another virtual-assistant like Alexa, Cortana, or Bixby.
