How to convert a Word Document to a Video with Speech

To convert a Word document to a video with speech, you can use online AI tools like Kapwing or VEED, or use software like Microsoft Word's "Read Aloud" feature and then record the audio for integration into video editing software. 

Here's a breakdown of the methods:

1. Using Online AI Tools:

• Kapwing:

  • Upload your Word document (or paste the text). 
  • Use Kapwing's "AI Toolkit" to generate a script from the document. 
  • Choose a voiceover artist, language, and subtitle style. 
  • Generate the video and add further edits if necessary. 
• VEED:

  • Use VEED's "Text to Video" AI tool to create a video from your text. 
  • Describe the video you want to create and choose the video type. 
  • Customize the video format, presentation style, and script. 

2. Using Microsoft Word and Video Editing Software:

• Read Aloud in Word:

  • Open your Word document and go to the "Review" tab.
  • Select "Read Aloud" and choose "Play" to listen to the document.
  • Record the audio using Audacity or a similar recording software while Word reads the document.
• Integrate Audio with Video:

  • Use video editing software (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, iMovie) to import the audio recording.
  • Add visuals (images, slides, or video footage) to the video track.
  • Sync the audio and visuals to create your final video. 

3. Other Tools:

• AI Studios: Upload text-rich files (like .docx, .pdf) and select a template, set video preferences, and generate the video. 
• Speechify: Import Word documents, choose from AI voices, and add background music.
