Text to Audio — Technical Guide
Describe any sound in words and the AI creates it — rain, footsteps, crowd noise, music, ambient soundscapes, anything you can imagine as audio

Text to Audio turns words into sound. Describe what you want to hear — rain hitting a window, a crowd cheering in a stadium, coffee shop background noise with quiet chatter and an espresso machine — and the AI generates an audio clip that matches your description.
No video input needed, no image needed. Just a text prompt and a duration. You write what the sound should be, choose how long the clip should last (3 to 10 seconds), and the AI produces a ready-to-use audio file.
This is useful in two main situations. First, adding ambient atmosphere to content — background audio for videos, podcasts, presentations, or social media posts. Second, creating specific sound effects you cannot find in stock libraries — unique combinations, unusual textures, or very particular sounds that would take hours to source or record.
Layer multiple generated clips together to build complex soundscapes. Generate a rain clip, a distant thunder clip, and a soft piano clip separately, then combine them in your editor for a rich, multi-layered audio environment.
✦ Best Results Tips
🎬
Describe Sounds Like a Scene
Write your prompt like you are describing a scene to someone with their eyes closed. Rain on a tin roof with distant thunder and a dog barking far away paints a much richer audio picture than just rain.
🎵
Specify Instruments and Mood for Music
For musical content, name the instruments, tempo, and mood. Soft acoustic guitar, slow tempo, melancholic and warm gives the AI clear direction instead of just sad music.
⏱️
Match Duration to Purpose
Short clips of 3 to 5 seconds work best for single sound effects like a door slam or glass breaking. Use the full 10 seconds for ambient soundscapes and background textures that need to feel continuous.
🎯
One Sound Category Per Clip
Generate sound effects and music as separate clips rather than asking for both in one prompt. A forest ambience clip plus a separate gentle flute clip gives you more control when combining them.
🔊
Be Specific About Distance and Space
Close-up sharp footsteps on marble sounds very different from distant echoing footsteps in an empty hallway. Describe the spatial quality of the sound — the AI understands proximity, echo, and room size.
🔄
Generate Variations to Compare
The AI interprets sound descriptions differently each time. Generate the same prompt a few times and pick the version that best matches what you had in mind — subtle differences in texture and timing make a real difference.
