How to record a screen recording with voice-over

Recording

1. Pick your microphone

   in Zoomr Settings → Microphone & camera. A headset or USB mic beats a laptop mic.

2. Turn on 🎙 Mic

   in the popup and say a test sentence. The meter should move into the yellow, not stay at the left.

3. Plan three points

   you want to say. Don't write a script word for word; it sounds read out.

4. Record

   with Ctrl+Shift+E (on a Mac, ⌘+Shift+E). Talk while you click. Pauses are fine: Smart Edit removes dead time but keeps speech.

5. Mute

   for a cough or a long silent step with Alt+Shift+S. Recording continues, silently.

Editing without cutting your words

• ✨ Smart Edit detects speech on your microphone track. It cuts idle stretches and speeds up waiting, but never inside speech.
• Made a mistake? Press S to split just before and after it, select the section and press Delete. See removing mistakes.
• Captions (Pro) are generated on your computer from your voice track, in your spoken language.

Sound better in five minutes

• Record in a small room with soft furnishings; avoid kitchens and empty offices.
• Keep the mic a hand's width from your mouth, slightly to the side.
• Echo cancellation and noise suppression are on automatically.
• Leave loudness normalisation on (Audio tab) so your voice ends up at a consistent level.
