# Recording with Audio

> Speak while recording to give AI a better starting point for your narration script — then let AI clean up and regenerate a professional voiceover.

Section: Docs › Recording

By default, screen recordings are captured without sound. You can either write your own script or let AI generate one from your video. But there's a better option: **speak while recording** to give AI a head start.

> **Tip:** Uploading a recording that already has audio you *don't* want transcribed? Strip it first with the free [Remove Audio](https://www.tutorial.ai/remove-audio) tool — it runs locally in your browser, the file never leaves your device.

## Enabling audio recording

1. Open the Recorder

2. Click the **microphone icon** to enable audio

3. Select an audio source

4. Speak naturally while recording your screen

Once you finish recording, Tutorial AI converts your narration to text and displays it in the script editor.

> **Note:** Your original voice is **not** used in the final video. Tutorial AI converts your audio to text, then regenerates it as a polished AI voiceover. This ensures consistent, professional quality regardless of your recording conditions.

## Automatic enhancements

After uploading a recording with audio, the system offers two enhancement options:

### Enhance Narration

AI automatically removes filler words and refines sentence structure, giving your narration a more polished and professional flow.

### Smart Auto-Cut

Analyzes the video and trims out sections where the mouse remains idle. In [Clips](https://www.tutorial.ai/docs/editing/clips-overview) you can undo individual cuts, or click **Remove cuts** to restore everything.

## Why record with audio?

Speaking while recording gives better results than silent recording because:

- **More accurate scripts** — AI starts with your actual explanation rather than guessing from screen activity
- **Better pacing** — your natural rhythm guides how the narration aligns with the video
- **Fewer edits needed** — the initial script is closer to what you intended

Simply record naturally, and let AI handle the polishing — delivering a professional result with minimal effort.
