+Adding Voiceovers to Videos
+###########################
+
+Creating a full-fledged video with voiceovers is a bit more involved than
+creating purely visual Manim scenes. One has to use `a video editing
+program <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_editing_software>`__
+to add the voiceovers after the video has been rendered. This process
+can be difficult and time-consuming, since it requires a lot of planning
+and preparation.
+
+To ease the process of adding voiceovers to videos, we have created
+`Manim Voiceover <https://voiceover.manim.community>`__, a plugin
+that lets you add voiceovers to scenes directly in Python. To install it, run
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    pip install "manim-voiceover[azure,gtts]"
+
+Visit `the installation page <https://voiceover.manim.community/en/latest/installation.html>`__
+for more details on how to install Manim Voiceover.
+
+Basic Usage
+###########
+
+Manim Voiceover lets you ...
+
+- Add voiceovers to Manim videos directly in Python, without having to use a video editor.
+- Record voiceovers with your microphone during rendering through a simple command line interface.
+- Develop animations with auto-generated AI voices from various free and proprietary services.
+
+It provides a very simple API that lets you specify your voiceover script
+and then record it during rendering:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from manim import *
+    from manim_voiceover import VoiceoverScene
+    from manim_voiceover.services.recorder import RecorderService
+
+    # Simply inherit from VoiceoverScene instead of Scene to get all the
+    # voiceover functionality.
+    class RecorderExample(VoiceoverScene):
+        def construct(self):
+            # You can choose from a multitude of TTS services,
+            # or in this example, record your own voice:
+            self.set_speech_service(RecorderService())
+
+            circle = Circle()
+
+            # Surround animation sections with with-statements:
+            with self.voiceover(text="This circle is drawn as I speak.") as tracker:
+                self.play(Create(circle), run_time=tracker.duration)
+                # The duration of the animation is received from the audio file
+                # and passed to the tracker automatically.
+
+            # This part will not start playing until the previous voiceover is finished.
+            with self.voiceover(text="Let's shift it to the left 2 units.") as tracker:
+                self.play(circle.animate.shift(2 * LEFT), run_time=tracker.duration)
