How do lesson narrations work?
Adding narration to lessons allows users with an auditory learning style to maintain attention and retention. It also provides a more engaging training experience for users with different learning preferences. In SafetyCulture Training, your team can add narration to lessons in two ways:
AI-narration: For teams on the Premium and Enterprise Plans, you can convert your lesson content into narrated audio using text-to-speech technology. Depending on the course language, you can choose from different voices and accents for a more engaging experience. This allows you to create a consistent narration without needing to record it manually.
Manual narration: Available on any SafetyCulture Plan, this option allows you to upload your own MP3 files up to 40MB to use as narration in your lessons. This way, you can personalize your lesson using custom audio that matches your team's needs.
Narration can only be added to the following lesson slide templates: title slides, text slides, and image slides.

If you're adding narration with AI, we recommend reviewing the playback to ensure it sounds natural and accurately reflects your lesson content. You can make edits to the narration and the script as needed.

Frequently asked questions
