# Narration

> Edit transcripts, refine wording with AI, choose voices, and generate voice-over.

The **Steps** panel is where you shape how a guide sounds. Edit the script, ask AI for a cleaner version, choose a voice, and generate voice-over when the wording is ready.

## Edit transcripts

Each step has a transcript. That text appears as captions and is also used for generated voice-over.

Click a transcript to edit it. Keep each line short and direct, especially for customer-facing guides.

<Note>
  Steps with empty transcripts are skipped when voice-over is generated.
</Note>

## Refine with AI

Use **Refine speech** when the draft narration needs help.

You can ask Guideless to:

* Shorten the narration
* Make the tone friendlier
* Make the wording clearer for a new customer
* Rewrite one step or the whole guide

AI suggestions appear before they are applied, so you can review the changes first.

## Choose a voice

## Available languages

Guideless supports generated guide text and voice selection in 43 languages.

Guideless looks at the captured page and chooses a guide language when there is enough clear evidence. If the language is unclear or unsupported, Guideless uses English.

You can always edit transcripts after capture.

These languages are available in the voice picker. You can write or edit transcripts in any of them, then choose a matching voice before generating voice-over.

<Tip>
  If a guide needs to be in a specific language, make the product UI and transcript text match that language before generating voice-over.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  Preview a few voices before generating audio. The best choice often depends on whether the guide is for customers, teammates, or formal training.
</Tip>

## Set pronunciation

Use **Dictionary** in the **Steps** panel footer when a voice needs help with a product name, acronym, or phrase. Add an alternative spelling or a phonetic pronunciation, preview it with the selected voice, and save it for your workspace.

Dictionary entries change how the audio sounds while keeping your transcript and caption text unchanged. See [Pronunciation dictionary](/dictionary) for examples and setup steps.

## Generate voice-over

Click **Generate voiceover** when the transcripts and voice are ready.

If you edit the transcript, change the voice, or update the dictionary later, regenerate voice-over before you share the link, update an embed, or export an MP4.

## Captions

Captions use the same transcript text. Viewers can turn captions on or off in the player. For MP4 exports, you can choose whether captions are burned into the video.

## Writing tips

* Lead with the action.
* Keep one idea per step.
* Remove filler words unless they add useful context.
* Match the transcript language to the selected voice.
