Text or Audio for a Talking Photo: Which Should You Use?

Use text for quick edits and voice choice, or audio when timing, pronunciation, and pauses are already settled.

Both modes ultimately drive the portrait with audio. The difference is whether Vimorph creates that audio from a script or you upload a finished recording.

Key takeaways

  • Use text for quick drafts.
  • Use audio for exact delivery.
  • Trim long silence.
  • Test a short section first.

Use text while the wording may change

You can revise a line without recording it again and compare several voices quickly.

Use audio when performance matters

A recording carries its own rhythm, pronunciation, pauses, and emotion.

Prepare uploaded audio

  • Trim long silence at both ends.
  • Keep speech above background noise.
  • Avoid clipping and distortion.
  • Use one speaker per clip.

Frequently asked questions

Does text mode also use audio?
