Create your podcast with AI voices

Fliki's Script-to-Audio workflow turns your episode script into a natural-sounding podcast using lifelike AI voices. Write or paste your content, pick a narrator, and generate. Everything happens on a single-page builder, and you can fine-tune every line afterward before you download and publish.

Step 1 - Open the Script to audio workflow

  • Open the Fliki homepage at app.fliki.ai.

  • Switch the top toggle to Voiceover.

  • Under Voiceover workflows, click Script to audio. You can also paste your episode straight into the "Enter your voiceover idea, script, or blog link" box.

Pro tip: Use a folder as your podcast show and the files inside it as episodes. Open Files, create or open your show's folder, then start a new Script to audio file inside it to keep everything organized.

Step 2 - Add your episode script

The builder is a single page. Your script sits on the left, and the rail on the right ("Your voiceover") summarizes your narrator voice and extras. Tap any row to change just that part.

  • Write or paste your episode into the Script box.

  • Use tags to guide the AI. For example, [Scene 1] and [Scene 2] split the episode into sections, and inline tags like [short pause] control pacing.

  • Use Edit with AI to tighten the intro, sharpen the hook, or adjust the tone.

  • Leave Create scenes on Auto to let Fliki split the episode into scenes.

Step 3 - Choose a narrator voice

Open the Voice panel (or the Voiceover row in the rail), then click Browse voices:

  • Filter by Language, Dialect, and Gender.

  • Switch between voice sets: Multilingual, Ultra, Standard, and Cloned & Favorites. Fliki offers a large library of voices across 80+ languages and 100+ dialects.

  • Search by descriptor (for example, "warm," "podcast," "deep").

  • Click the speaker icon to preview a voice, then click Select voice.

Tip: You can clone your own voice to host the show in your own sound, and use it from the Cloned & Favorites tab.

Step 4 - Set extras

Open Extras & advanced to add optional touches such as Generate sound effects and Add pauses between scenes for a more natural, produced feel.

Step 5 - Generate your podcast

Click Generate voiceover. It usually takes under 2 minutes, and you can fine-tune every line afterward. Fliki works through Preparing, Analyzing the script, Building the scenes, Adding voice & music, and Finalizing.

Step 6 - Edit and add background music

When generation completes, your episode opens in the editor:

  • The bottom player lets you play back the full episode and scrub the timeline.

  • Open the Layers panel to manage the Background music layer under the common scene. Use Replace to swap the track and adjust its volume from the customization panel.

  • Fine-tune wording, pacing, and audio from the Script, Audio, and Copilot tabs.

Step 7 - Preview and download

  • Play back the episode to check the result.

  • Click Download, choose mp3 (or wav), then Start export to save your episode.

Step 8 - Host and publish your podcast
