Turn a voice note into a YouTube Short
TalkShorts turns a voice recording of up to 5 minutes into a vertical 9:16 video for YouTube Shorts, with the title, description and hashtags written for you. You record or upload your voice, fix any misheard word in the transcript, and download the video. No camera and no editing software.

How it works
- Record or upload your voice. Record in your browser or upload an audio file (MP3, M4A, WAV and more).
- Check the transcript. Every word is timed. Click a word to fix it, and add names to your glossary so they are spelled the same way every time.
- Pick YouTube Short. Tick YouTube Short, and Instagram Reels, TikTok, X, Threads or LinkedIn too if you want them from the same recording.
- Generate and download. TalkShorts plans scenes from what you said (a hook, key figures, key points), renders the video with your colors, logo and music, and writes the texts. The texts appear first; the video follows. Download the .mp4 and publish it yourself.
What you get
- A vertical 1080 x 1920 MP4 video with scenes timed to your words.
- A title, a description and hashtags for YouTube.
- Your brand: colors, font, logo, intro and outro, and background music with fades.
- A closing call to action at the moment you choose. Your link goes in the first comment, in the video, or nowhere, as you decide.
Who it is for
- Experts, coaches and consultants who explain things better out loud than on a timeline.
- Founders and freelancers who want to share updates without filming.
- Teachers and trainers who want to turn a lesson recap into a short.
When it is not the right tool
- Cutting highlights out of a long video or podcast. TalkShorts starts from a voice recording of up to 5 minutes; it does not cut existing footage.
- Videos that need your face or real footage. The scenes are graphic: headlines, figures, charts and cards over your voice.
- Posting for you. You download the video and publish it yourself.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to film myself?
No. You only send audio. The video is built from graphic scenes (headline, key figures, bullet points, cards) synchronized with your voice.
How long can the audio be?
Up to 5 minutes on paid plans, 2 minutes on the free plan and 30 seconds in the no-account trial. Shorter recordings render faster.
How long will the video be?
About as long as your recording, plus a short outro. TalkShorts does not trim or cut your voice, so keep the recording short for a Short, and check the current maximum length of each platform before you publish.
Is it free?
You can try it without an account (one generation, 30 seconds of audio). The free plan includes 5 minutes of audio per month and adds a "Made with TalkShorts" line at the end of the video. Paid plans start at 12 euros per month.
Can I fix transcription mistakes?
Yes. Click any word to correct it before generating. AI can mishear numbers and names, so always check the figures before you publish.
Which languages are supported?
French, English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), German and Italian. The speech, the on-screen texts and the written posts follow the language of your project.
Does TalkShorts upload to YouTube for me?
No. You download the video and post it yourself.
