Gemini TTS Voiceover Support Now Available in v3.70+

Gemini 2.5 has introduced a highly useful feature: multi-speaker text-to-speech. This functionality is powered by the gemini-2.5-flash-preview-tts and gemini-2.5-pro-preview-tts models.

To use this feature, navigate to Menu -- Translation Settings -- Gemini Pro. Enter your API key and select your desired model from the TTS Model dropdown menu. The gemini-2.5-flash-preview-tts model is recommended due to its fewer restrictions and higher free tier.

Potential Issues and Solutions

Currently, Gemini has strict API call frequency limits. When processing a large number of text lines, especially in dual-speaker mode, you might encounter generation failures (particularly with Chinese text). This could result in a 429 error, indicated by the error code 429 in the error message.

  1. The simplest solution is to wait a few minutes or longer and try again, or increase the wait time after a voiceover pause and reduce the number of concurrent processes.
  2. A better solution is to subscribe to a paid Google account.

Important Notes:

  1. Internet Access (VPN Required): To access Google AI services, you need to be able to access the global internet (resolve network issues yourself). This is essential for using foreign AI tools; otherwise, subsequent steps will be impossible.
  2. Google Account: You will need a free Google account. If you do not already have one, you can register on the Google website. Registration can typically be completed using a phone number.
