Corrections & re-narration

Script & voice

Edit and Regenerate AI Video Voiceover

Last updated

In short

  • Fix one segment without rebuilding the video. Only that part changes.
  • The first re-narration of each segment is free and does not use your minutes.
  • Editing the words costs nothing. Minutes are only spent generating audio.
  • Rewrite, shorten, lengthen, or fix grammar with one click.

You can fix narration without redoing the whole video. ScreenDub splits each video into segments, and you edit one segment at a time. Only that part changes.

How to correct a segment

  1. Open the project in the editor.
  2. Find the segment you want to change.
  3. Edit the script for that segment.
  4. Re-narrate it. ScreenDub generates fresh audio for that segment alone.

The rest of the video stays exactly as it was.

The first edit is free

The first time you re-narrate a segment, it is free. It does not use your monthly minutes. So you can polish a line without worrying about your quota. If you re-narrate that same segment again later, the new audio counts toward your minutes like any other narration.

Let ScreenDub reword it

You do not have to write the fix yourself. Each segment has a rewrite menu with four options:

  • Rewrite. A fresh take on the same line.
  • Shorten. Same point, fewer words. Useful when the narration runs past the action on screen.
  • Longer. More detail, for a step that goes by too fast.
  • Fix grammar. Cleans up the wording and leaves the meaning alone.

Rewriting the text costs nothing. You only use minutes when you re-narrate to hear it in the voice.

Other segment edits

  • Split. Break a long segment into two, so a busy stretch gets two lines instead of one.
  • Delete. Drop a segment you do not need. It stops appearing as a chapter too.
  • Trim. Cut dead time from the end of a segment.

When to use it

  • Fix a name or a term.
  • Reword a step that is not clear.
  • Adjust the tone of a single line.

Want a bigger change? You can also switch the voice or the script style and regenerate. See Choosing a voice & accent and Script styles.

Common questions

Does editing the text alone cost minutes?

No. Editing the words is free. Minutes are only used when ScreenDub generates the spoken audio for a segment.

What counts as the free correction?

The first re-narration of each segment is free. Every segment gets one. Later re-narrations of the same segment use your minutes.
