How do I get access to Audiates’ AI avatars, narration, and translation features?

Access to Audiate’s premium AI features depends on which Camtasia plan you choose. While text-based editing is included in all Camtasia plans, the generative AI tools are grouped into two professional tiers: Camtasia Create: This plan gives you unlimited access to AI narration and premium voices (powered by ElevenLabs). It’s the perfect choice if you want to generate professional voiceovers from text without using a microphone. Camtasia Pro: This is the full toolkit. It includes everything in Create, plus AI avatars and translation. Choose this plan if you need to put a friendly face on your lessons or reach a global audience. Audiate Business License: AI avatars, narration, and translation features are available when you purchase Audiate as a standalone app. This is the best path to take if you already have a Camtasia Business license.

Audiate is the AI-powered audio recorder and text-based video editor designed specifically for the Camtasia workflow. It allows you to edit video by editing text. Beyond editing, Audiate serves as a generative AI hub for training and educational content, enabling users to generate scripts, narration, and digital presenters as well as clean up audio.

Because it’s tightly integrated with the Camtasia Editor, all text-edits and AI-generated content sync instantly, allowing trainers and knowledge workers to produce professional videos more than 40% faster than traditional editing methods.

Yes, Audiate is now a core part of the Camtasia experience. While they remain two separate applications to maximize performance, they operate as a single, integrated system for video production. If you have a Camtasia subscription or a Business License, you automatically have access to Audiate’s text-based editing and audio cleanup tools at no extra cost.

While Audiate is available as a standalone app, it is also bundled into Camtasia plans, with Create and Pro plans unlocking unlimited generative AI features like ElevenLabs voices and AI Avatars.

Not at all. Camtasia Editor and Audiate work as a team on the same project. Use Audiate to get your narration and audio perfect, and use the Editor to add visuals like arrows, transitions, and other screen effects. They stay in sync the whole time.

If you have a Camtasia Business License, you already have access to Audiate’s text-based editing and audio cleanup features. Business customers can gain access to Audiate’s unlimited generative AI features by purchasing Audiate as a standalone app here.

If you have a Camtasia plan, you can upgrade at any time by following these steps in your TechSmith account.

If you have a perpetual license, active maintenance, or are unsure of your current status, this support article breaks it down and our customer care team is happy to help.

If you have any Camtasia subscription or a Business License, text-based editing and audio cleanup tools are already included.

Text-based video editing is a way to edit video by editing a transcript. Audiate turns your recording into a document; when you delete a sentence or word in the text, it automatically cuts that exact moment from your video. It’s like using a word processor to edit a movie.

To access Audiate’s built-in features, you just need to make sure you are running Camtasia version 2025.0.3 or newer. You can find more information about accessing these features within this support article.

Yes! You can use Camtasia Audiate to generate narration for your videos with AI. If you’re short on time or don’t want to be on mic, you can choose from a library of premium AI voices powered by ElevenLabs. Just type or paste your script, and Audiate generates a lifelike narration that sounds like a professional voice actor.

Note: Premium ElevenLabs voices are available to users who purchase their Camtasia plan or Business License directly from TechSmith, not through resellers, due to ElevenLabs policy.

Access to Audiate’s premium AI features depends on which Camtasia plan you choose. While text-based editing is included in all Camtasia plans, the generative AI tools are grouped into two professional tiers:

Camtasia Create: This plan gives you unlimited access to AI narration and premium voices (powered by ElevenLabs). It’s the perfect choice if you want to generate professional voiceovers from text without using a microphone.
Camtasia Pro: This is the full toolkit. It includes everything in Create, plus AI avatars and translation. Choose this plan if you need to put a friendly face on your lessons or reach a global audience.
Audiate Business License: AI avatars, narration, and translation features are available when you purchase Audiate as a standalone app. This is the best path to take if you already have a Camtasia Business license.

Currently, Audiate supports English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish (Castelian), Spanish (Argentinian), Spanish (Chilean), Spanish (Columbian), Spanish (Mexican), Spanish (Peruvian).

Unlike tools that charge you “tokens” or “credits” every time you generate a voice or a script, purchasing an individual Audiate license or Camtasia Create and Pro plans gives you unlimited access to generative AI features. You can record, generate, and experiment as much as you want without worrying about a monthly limit or extra fees.
