By the far the most user friendly software to use.
As a housewife at home looking to start a YouTube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.
As an English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features
[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!

Best online video service ever. And a miracle for deaf people.
[Subtitler] is able to autogenerate subtitles for video in almost any language. I'm deaf (or almost deaf, to be correct) and thanks to Kapwing I'm now able understand and react on videos from my friends :)

Frequently Asked Questions

We have answers to the most common questions that our users ask.

Is the AI Text to Audio generator free?

Yes, anyone can try Kapwing’s AI Assistant, Kai for free. Our AI tools run on a credit system, with each feature costing a set number of credits. For maximum creativity and the best value, upgrade to a Pro account to unlock the full power of AI-driven content creation. For Enterprise customers, there is no limit on the amount of AI text that you can generate.

How does the AI Text to Video generator work?

The underlying generative AI models are trained on music, sounds, and voices available online, then leverage this training data to make original beats and TTS layers. Kapwing's AI Text to Video pipeline leverages Minimax, ElevenLabs, and other best in class models to generate and return the best audio file for your prompt.

Can the Text to Audio generator create titles and lyrics?

When generating a single file, it's best to prompt directly for what you want. Kapwing's timeline or another video editor can help you mix lyrics, music, sound effects, and voiceovers together.

Can I edit the songs I generate?

Yes, you can edit your AI songs by prompting the AI with your requested changes. For example, "Make this song more upbeat" or "Change the song to a deep man's voice." You can also move your song into Kapwing's full editing studio for access to a complete range of audio editing tools.

How do I write good prompts for AI music?

If you have a specific vision for your song, describe it in depth in your AI music generator prompt. You may also describe the output "vibe" that you're going for, if you have a specific purpose in mind. Describe the mood and energy level by including emotional descriptors like "melancholic," "euphoric," "tense," "peaceful," or "energetic." You can also specify tempo with terms like "slow," "mid-tempo," "fast-paced," or actual BPM. You may also reference instruments and sounds that you want to hear. If you know music theory, you can use relevant terminology like "minor key," "major chord progression," "4/4 time signature," "staccato notes," or "legato melody" to guide the AI. After generating, feel free to follow up and refine to get it right.

Can I have the text on a webpage read aloud?

Yes. Using a text to speech tool like Kapwing's TTS generator, paste the text that you want to hear, then export to get the MP3 version. You can listen to the content like an audio book while you drive, exercise, sit on the bus, etc.
