Insert Sound Effects in Text-to-Speech

19-08-2025 , 21-08-2025

Place the cursor where you want to insert the sound. Then click on the sound icon, find the desired sound in the catalog and click the "insert" button. It's that simple

The sound will automatically be inserted at the location you selected in the text. Listen to what you get

Example:

Here the lightning sound was integrated right after the phrase. 

Sound Length Correction

You can use the mouse to trim the beginning or end of the track so that the system inserts only the desired segment of sound. Look at the demonstration. Here I select the brake sound and keep the needed beginning and remove the end.

Listen to what you get

Example:

Volume Control

If you need to increase or decrease the volume of the sound, it's easy to do. Just select the desired volume from the dropdown list in the sound catalog.

 

Moreover, after inserting the sound, you can change the volume level directly in the tag by putting a different number.

The volume logic is as follows: 100% -  this is the base volume. If you set 50%, it means  50% of the base (actually 50% quieter). If you set  150%, it's 50% louder than the base.

You can insert any number of sounds. They can be inserted between words, between sentences, one after another.

Favorite Sounds

Add a sound to favorites so it appears in the Favorites tab. This is convenient if you regularly use the same  sounds. This way you won't have to search for them every time.
