TikTok's text-to-speech feature allows creators to put text over their videos and have a Siri-like voice read it out loud.

It's a helpful way to annotate your videos to help describe what's happening, add context, or to serve whatever purpose you see fit. There's also no rule saying you can't use it just to make the text-to-speech voice say silly things.

Here's how you can easily add text-to-speech to your TikTok videos.
