What VidRush does after the voiceover

Your script, narrated and edited into a video

Paste a script you wrote. VidRush narrates it with the full ElevenLabs voice library, matches visuals to every line and returns a finished widescreen video with your words unchanged.

A finished minute at $1.46 to $2.18

On Pro + Medium, each minute is a finished video with licensed Storyblocks B-roll, music, captions, editing and a thumbnail. A Speechify Studio voiceover minute is narration audio with no visuals.

Real licensed footage, with source rules

Pro uses Storyblocks video B-roll. Each channel's Brand Profile can block or prefer specific channels and sites, with up to 30 blocked links per profile.

Bring your own voiceover

Upload narration recorded by you or a voice actor. VidRush paces the visuals to it, writes accurate subtitles and builds the finished video around it.

A quote first, a charge only on completion

The Quote Statement shows format, length, model, voice and a credit estimate before anything runs. Credits are charged when a video finishes, and failed generations cost nothing.

An AI presenter inside the edit

Persona I builds a presenter-led video up to 40 minutes from your script, with a visual generated for every line, at $0.57 to $0.84 a minute.

MP4 export ready for YouTube

Every video exports as a 1080p, 30 fps widescreen MP4. A built-in timeline editor and chat edits handle the last fixes before you upload.

Speechify pros and cons

Pros

Studio voiceovers draw on 1,000+ AI voices, with 20 listed voiceover languages.

Dubbing Studio dubs existing videos into other languages.

Fine controls for pauses, pitch, speed, volume, pronunciation and emotion.

Paid Studio plans include commercial usage rights, and you own the audio in perpetuity.

The reader app reads PDFs, web pages and books aloud on web, mobile and desktop.

Cons

Studio voices a script you bring; its pages do not describe writing one for you.

Its FAQ describes downloading work to MP3, and its pages do not describe captions, thumbnails or assembling a finished long-form video.

AI video and sound effect generation is listed as coming soon, not available.

Changing pitch, speed or emotion regenerates the audio and costs credits again.

Avatar output uses 30 credits per second, against 1 for voiceover.

Studio and the reader are separate subscriptions, and reviewers report billing concerns.
