Speech in Flow is a new experimental feature for Google's AI filmmaking tool, Flow. Powered by Veo 3, it lets you add custom, AI-generated speech to videos created from a single starting image, bringing your pictures to life with dialogue.
Co-hunting with @busmark_w_nika to share this fun yet powerful update to Flow.
I just tried it out. I uploaded a photo of a hamster and prompted it to pull out an iPhone 16 Pro and say, "hey, I can talk to you now!" The video Flow generated was genuinely astonishing – actually, it gave me two options to choose from.
This is a new aha moment. When an AI can imagine and synchronize both sound and visuals in a single step, it replaces the long, multi-app workflows creators used to struggle with. That's a huge leap.
What's also exciting is that this feature is now expanding to a wider audience. It's available in Flow for both Google AI Pro and Ultra plan users.
Big fan of Flow and this just raised the ceiling. The idea that I can go from one image to a voiced clip in minutes changes how I approach short-form content. Really well thought out.
From static images to sassy talking animals in seconds? The future is wild! That mouth movement precision alone deserves an Oscar. My family group chat is about to get very entertaining... Huge congratulations for you guys!
This is pure magic — turning static images into talking visuals opens up so many creative possibilities! Can’t wait to experiment with this. Huge props to the team for pushing the boundaries of AI storytelling. 🚀🖼️
This looks like a highly innovative and promising tool from Google Labs. The core concept of using images as prompts instead of text is a significant step forward in generative AI
