AI avatars and AI voiceovers in Google Vids now available in seven new languages
Google Vids is thrilled to announce that AI avatars and voiceovers now support more than just English. Users can now provide input in seven additional languages: French, German, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, and Japanese. The specific details of each feature are outlined below.
AI avatars
AI avatars in Google Vids enable simple generation of high-quality speakers, preferred five times more often than those on other platforms. Today we’re excited to announce that avatars, previously available only in English, can speak seven additional languages: Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Korean, and Japanese.
Anyone can create an avatar video in minutes, saving on both cost and time. Use avatars in scenarios like:
- Pitch global clients: Introduce new features to global clients with avatars in their native language.
- Educate a global workforce: Update global employees about a new training requirement in Q1.

AI voiceovers
AI Voiceovers in Google Vids allow users to generate realistic narration for their videos by selecting from a range of different presets. Instead of recording their own voice, users can type a script and the feature will return a high-quality voiceover.
Just like avatars, AI voiceovers are now available in seven new languages (in addition to English):
Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Korean, and Japanese.

Note: If the script contains multi-language script input, the feature will return a voiceover in the supported language that’s used most in the script.
