The Add new Voiceover API allows users to add Text-to-Speech (TTS) voiceovers from external platforms like Google, AWS, and ElevenLabs to Pictory’s voiceover library. By default, Pictory provides access to a pre-configured list of voices from these platforms. However, users may encounter voiceovers available on these platforms that are not present in Pictory’s default voiceover library. This API enables users to add such custom voices to the Pictory platform by providing the relevant details.
