[02:29] Your language will be auto-detected, but feel free to use the drop-down menu here to select a different language if you like. And underneath this, you can use the slider bars to adjust the speed and the pitch of your voice.

[02:41] And when you ready to add your text simply paste it in or type it into the text field on the right side here When you paste in or start typing your text the text field will get larger and provide us with more editing options For example if I wanted to add a pause

[02:56] after one of my sentences, I can simply use the add pause tab at the bottom here. Feel free to add pauses wherever you need in your script. And after you add your pauses, you can even adjust the length of your pauses by using the drop down menu.

[03:09] And if you highlight any of your text, you'll notice a toolbar appear up top. This will display several options, such as the ability to play the highlighted text, fix pronunciation, find and replace words,
