TechSmith Audiate Launches Generative AI Features For Instant Content Creation

“Generate Script” and “Generate Audio” Transform Audiate Into Full-Scale Audio Production House

EAST LANSING, MI – November 7, 2023 TechSmith Corporation, an industry leader in visual communication and video creation, announces the launch of generative AI scripting and voiceover features in Audiate, the company’s audio recorder and text-based editing solution. The new functionality, Generate Script and Generate Audio, allows creators of all skill levels to efficiently produce comprehensive, near-instant audio projects without a writer or voice actor.  

Audiate is the groundbreaking application leveraging AI to generate a transcription from recorded or imported audio or video files so users can edit content as easily as a text document.  Building upon its existing AI capabilities, such as the removal of hesitations and fillers (“ums” and “ahs”), Audiate now offers faster speech-to-text transcription as well as generative scripting and audio to transform the solution into a complete audio production house.

New AI-powered functionality in Audiate includes:

Generate Script:

  • Script Creation: Create a script from nothing but an idea by specifying desired length, content type (i.e. business presentation or marketing commercial), and style (i.e. enthusiastic or serious) from a variety of options.
  • Script Summary and Revision: Easily summarize a script to aid with marketing and promotion of audio/video content or instantly rewrite the script to try new concepts.
  • Script Translation: Translate your script into 7 different languages including English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish. 

Generate Audio:

  • Multivoice Audio Generation: Transform text into studio-quality audio, selecting from over 100 different voices and styles with the ability to adjust their speed and pitch to match your desired audio outcome.
  • Multilingual Audio Generation: Switch audio into 14 different languages and dialects, including English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish.

“With our new Generative AI features, we want to help our users create professional content in minutes, rather than hours or days,” said Dan Latterner, senior technical product manager at TechSmith. “Audiate can now leverage AI to assist with every step of the creation process, getting you from an idea to a polished result, faster and easier than ever before.”

Alongside its new generative AI technology, Audiate has improved its integration with Camtasia, TechSmith’s award-winning, all-in-one video recorder and editor. The combination of Camtasia and Audiate creates a powerful AI-assisted video editor allowing users to produce video content more than 40% faster than the standalone solution. Audio edits made within Audiate now automatically synchronize and create video edits in a linked Camtasia project. In addition, the Audiate-based transcription can be transferred over to Camtasia for precise video captioning, including traditional closed captioning and new, customizable Dynamic Captions. 

Price and Availability

A one-year subscription of Audiate is available now for $199.99 USD from the TechSmith online store and select resellers, or bundled with Camtasia for $379.87 USD. A free, fully functional trial version of Audiate can be downloaded from the TechSmith website. The software interface is available in English, however transcription and audio editing are supported in English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish.
