Launch the TikTok app on your mobile device. Next, capture or select the video you want to use. Then follow these steps to add text directly to your TikTok video:

Once TikTok takes you to the video editing menu, tap the Text icon (Aa) at the top right.
Type the words you want to place on your video.
Change text color and font (optional). Select your preferred color from the round color dots at the top of your keyboard. You can also change your text font by tapping the font names right above the color options. For example, you can select the Handwriting option for italicized text.
Align the text (optional). Tap the text alignment bars immediately to the left of the font options to align your text to the left, right, or center.
Change the caption style (optional). To the left of the alignment bar, touch the highlighted icon denoted with an A to add different highlights to your text. For example, you can use this option to bold your text or make it appear in a box. Keep tapping this symbol to see the available options.
Tap Done at the top right once you’ve finished typing and altering the style of the text.
You can then manually adjust the position of the text by dragging it across your screen.
Tap Next to go to the uploading menu, where you can now upload or draft your captioned video.

Since TikTok lets users stitch videos together, you can add text to each stitched video if you like. All you need to do is repeat the steps highlighted above.

You can also add multiple bits of text or put multiple words on your TikTok video by repeating these steps and treating each piece of text as a separate element or sticker. Once you’re satisfied with this phase, you can go ahead and describe your video, add tags, post your TikTok video or save it to your drafts.

That’s it. You just added words to your TikTok video.

You can edit the added text before moving to the publishing menu if it needs more patching.

All you need to do is:

Tap the written text
Select Edit from the popup options.
Then redo your caption by repeating the steps for adding text to your video.
Tap Done when you finish making your edits.

However, if the video is already in the drafts, you’ll only need to go to your profile and select it to edit the words you’ve written earlier. Then follow the same instruction as above.

You can’t edit the added text once you publish your video.

To get a bit creative, you can set a duration for how long you want the text to appear in your video, making it vanish as people play your TikTok video. You can even specify the point in your video where you want the caption to start appearing.

To set the duration of how long you want words to appear on a TikTok video, use the following steps:

Tap the relevant text.
Select Set duration from the options that come up.
Next, drag the time slider at the bottom of the screen to the left or right to set a time frame for your text as you like.
Tap the play button above the time slider to preview how the text will appear in the video.
Once you’re satisfied, tap the checkmark symbol in the lower-right corner of the screen.

Convert Text to Speech on Your TikTok Video

You can also use TikTok’s text-to-speech feature to convert the words you’ve written on your TikTok video to speech. This is handy for creating awareness about what your TikTok video is all about.

To achieve this, all you need to do is touch the written text and select Text-to-speech. This converts all the words you’ve written on your TikTok video to audio without removing the original text. Once done, you’ll hear an audible voice repeating the words you typed in your video.

Make Your TikTok Videos More Interesting

Posting short and dynamic videos on TikTok can attract a larger audience. And adding responsive text to your videos is also one of the things you can do to add a bit of variety to your content.
