There are two main ways to make AI voices:
- Use a text-to-speech (TTS) engine. TTS engines convert text into speech using machine learning algorithms. There are many different TTS engines available, both free and paid. Some popular TTS engines include:
- Google Cloud Text-to-Speech
- Amazon Polly
- Microsoft Azure Text-to-Speech
- Use a voice cloning tool. Voice cloning tools allow you to create a digital copy of someone’s voice, which can then be used to generate synthetic speech. Voice cloning tools are typically more expensive than TTS engines, but they can produce more realistic-sounding voices. Some popular voice cloning tools include:
- ElevenLabs
- Resemble.ai
- Voicemod
To make an AI voice using a text-to-speech engine, simply type or paste the text you want the voice to speak into the TTS engine’s interface and select the desired voice. The TTS engine will then generate an audio file of the text being spoken.
To make an AI voice using a voice cloning tool, you will need to provide the tool with a sample of the voice you want to clone. This can be done by recording yourself speaking or by uploading an audio file of someone else speaking. Once the tool has a sample of the voice, it will be able to generate synthetic speech that sounds like the original speaker.
Once you have generated an AI voice, you can use it in a variety of ways, such as:
- Creating voiceovers for videos or presentations.
- Developing chatbots or virtual assistants.
- Generating audiobooks or other audio content.
- Creating realistic-sounding sound effects for video games or movies.
AI voices are still under development, but they are becoming increasingly sophisticated and realistic. As AI technology continues to improve, AI voices are likely to become even more widespread and useful in a variety of applications.
