Korean AI voiceover

Korean carries the full eight ko-KR voices, and because Hangul writes with spaces, captions type on word by word like English rather than dumping whole sentences. The glyphs come from a fallback font, the one honest caveat on this page.

The scene voiceover dialog in the video builder with Korean (ko-KR) chosen and its voice list open
In the video builder a scene voiceover takes a language first, then a voice from that language's list. Here the language is ko-KR and the line is the sample read above.

Register is the first casting decision

Korean grammar wears its politeness on every verb, and the director sets it from your brief: haeyo-che friendliness for a cafe promo, hamnida-che formality for corporate work. Say which world your brand lives in and the script follows through consistently, narration and on-screen lines alike. The Language field's Korean entry locks ko-KR for the automatic voices, briefs in any language work, and quoted Korean in the brief, a menu item or slogan in Hangul, survives untouched into the video.

The eight ko-KR voices

All four style pairs exist here. Puck and Laomedeia serve fast retail and social spots, the register most Korean ad copy occupies anyway. Charon and Erinome read like a calm product tutor, and tutorials are locked to them by the standing rule. Umbriel and Sulafat handle testimonial warmth, right for a neighbourhood bakery or wedding studio. Iapetus and Aoede stay even for IR-style updates. One default voice per video, chosen by style and gender from the brief, with per-scene overrides and a full catalogue search available in each scene's voice dialog.

Konglish, numbers and respelling

English loanwords are everywhere in Korean commerce, and the voices read them with Korean phonology; when a brand must sound closer to its English original, respell it in Hangul that approximates the sound and regenerate, about half a credit per clip. Numbers need care because Korean counts in two systems: write the number as words in the intended system, 만 오천 원 for prices, and the ambiguity disappears. Sentence punctuation cuts the caption cues. Generated narration never carries an em dash by rule; keep manual edits on commas and full stops.

Timing behaviour and the bill

Korean's dense syllable blocks say a lot per second, so lines usually fit their scenes; when one overruns, the scene stretches to hold the clip and dynamic pace lets the tail play over the next cut. Each scene exposes a delay in seconds and speed steps from 0.85x to 1.25x. The soundtrack ducks itself to 22 percent while the voice speaks. Costs are the standard ones: narration billed by length, about half a credit for a typical clip, and an export that bills its render time and needs at least 1 credit left past 30 seconds or when narration remains to generate.

Captions in this script

Korean is the outlier among the CJK scripts because Hangul writes with spaces, so captions type on word by word in step with the voice exactly as English does, no segmenter required. Timing comes from the clip itself. The glyphs, though, come from the render host's fallback font, as no family in the catalogue ships Hangul; the syllable blocks render cleanly but in a typeface unrelated to the look's Latin. Korean particles keep words short, so the pill's 48 character sentence split rarely triggers; when a line does split, the cues cut between spaced words.

Questions people ask

Which Korean voices are available?

Eight in ko-KR: Puck, Laomedeia, Charon, Erinome, Umbriel, Sulafat, Iapetus and Aoede, four styles by two genders. Automatic casting picks one from the brief's tone; scene-level dialogs search the whole Google catalogue for anything beyond them, including other Korean tiers.

Do Hangul captions type on word by word?

Yes. Korean writes with spaces, so the pill highlights each word as the voice reaches it, timed against the actual clip, the same behaviour English gets. No segmenter is involved, unlike Japanese and Chinese. Captions default on and toggle per scene in the voice dialog.

Will Hangul match my look's font?

No catalogue font ships Hangul, so a fallback font draws the syllable blocks, cleanly but in its own style. Captions in the fixed dark pill wear this well; large on-screen Hangul headlines show the mismatch more, so keep them short or carry key text in the voice.

Can I set the politeness level?

Yes, through the brief. Describe your brand as friendly and the script comes out in polite casual haeyo-che; describe it as formal and hamnida-che follows. The register is applied consistently across narration and on-screen text, and you can edit any line afterwards.

What does Korean narration cost?

Narration is billed by length, about half a credit for a typical clip, with all editing between generations free. Exports bill their render time, usually a small amount; longer videos, or exports still owing narration, need at least 1 credit left to start.
