TikTok now has a ton of useful editing tools to help you make awesome videos, but with more features, they may not be as simple to find and use. Want to use the text to speech tool on TikTok but not sure how? We’re here to help. Watch this video to learn how to use text to speech on TikTok in 2 ways! #tiktoktutorial #tiktoktexttospeech There are two different ways you can use the text to speech tool on TikTok. One is within the main editing window, and the other is in the more advanced studio editor. Method 1: To use the text to speech feature on TikTok, begin creating a TikTok video as you normally would, either by recording clips within the app or uploading a video from your device. Now at the editing stage, tap the As on the right to add a text box. Type in what you’d like your text to say. If you like, you can change the colour and font of the text here as well. Then, tap Text to Speech above your text. There are a few different voice options to choose from. Tap a voice name to hear a preview of it. When you find one you like, tap Apple Voice to All text in This Video. Then tap Done. You can pinch and drag to place your text wherever you’d like it to sit on the screen. Then, tap your text box and select Set Duration. Then you can drag the markers to change the duration of your text box to the portion of the video where you’d like it to appear. The text to speech tool will automatically read your text out loud from the first point where your text appears. You can see the audio clip length here as well, so if you want your text to be off the screen once it is finished being read, drag the end of the duration marker to the end of the audio wave shown. Repeat this process to add any additional text you want in your video. Method 2: The other way you can use the text to speech tool on TikTok is within the studio editor. To do this, tap Edit on the right. Now tap Text at the bottom. Select Add Text. Now type in what you’d like your text to say. If you like, you can change the colour and font of the text here as well. Then tap Done. You can pinch and drag to place your text wherever you’d like it to sit on the screen. At the bottom, tap Text to Speech. There are a few different voice options to choose from. Tap a voice name to hear a preview of it. When you find one you like, tap Save. Then you can drag the markers to change the duration of your text box to the portion of the video where you’d like it to appear. The text to speech tool will automatically read your text out loud from the first point where your text appears. You can see the audio clip length here as well, so if you want your text to be off the screen once it is finished being read, drag the end of the duration marker to the end of the audio wave shown. The upside of using the studio editor is that you can see your whole video timeline laid out. Repeat this process to add any additional text you want in your video.

Twitter has finally given us the option to switch back to a chronological timeline on the mobile app so we can see the newest tweets in our feed first! *cheers* Watch this video to learn how to switch your twitter back to chronological order! First, make sure you’ve updated your Twitter app to the newest available version. When you open Twitter, you’ll see a new icon in the top right corner. From the pop up at the bottom, select “see latest tweets instead.” This will switch you back to having a chronological timeline. Refresh your feed by swiping downwards from the top and you’ll see the newest tweets from accounts you follow. Unfortunately after a while Twitter will automatically switch you back to their “top tweets” timeline setup, but you can easily switch back to chronological order again if that happens.
