Start CreatingWhat is OpenAI TTS?
OpenAI TTS is a text-to-speech model from OpenAI available in DaVinciDreams. It processes text input and generates audio up to 600 seconds long. Priced at $15.00 / 1M chars, it is competitively priced for its capabilities. Within DaVinciDreams, OpenAI TTS is used to generate voiceover narration, dialogue, sound effects, or background music for your film projects. Generated audio clips are placed on dedicated audio tracks in the multi-track timeline, where you can adjust volume, apply trim points, and synchronize them precisely with your video clips. The AI handles the audio production; you control the mix and timing.
Key Capabilities of OpenAI TTS
OpenAI TTS specializes in converting written text into natural-sounding speech. It supports multiple voices and languages, making it suitable for narration, character dialogue, and multilingual film productions. Voice parameters like stability and similarity can be adjusted to control how expressive or consistent the output sounds. Generated speech integrates directly onto audio tracks in the DaVinciDreams timeline, where precise synchronization with video clips is handled through trim points and volume keyframes. The model processes text input and delivers audio output, completing the pipeline from written script to spoken dialogue.

Using OpenAI TTS in DaVinciDreams
OpenAI TTS integrates into DaVinciDreams through both the Script Generator and the direct editor workflow. During script generation, the system automatically assigns OpenAI TTS to produce voiceover and dialogue for each scene. In the editor, you create audio prompts manually, select OpenAI TTS, configure parameters like voice, language, and stability, and generate. Audio clips arrive on dedicated timeline tracks where the AudioMixer handles volume, panning, and synchronization. The BYOK system accepts OpenAI API keys for cost reduction. Multilingual support (English, German, Spanish, French, Chinese, Hindi) matches the platform localization.
