Top 9 High-Quality AI Voice Clone Tools
Voice cloning using AI has also seen tremendous developments in recent months, and can now be considered a technology mature enough to have many practical uses with very reliable results (so much so that it's a bit scary, to be honest).
If you're still not entirely clear on the purpose of voice cloning, you'll be interested to know that it's a deepfake technology capable of identifying, copying, and replicating a person's tone of voice, inflections, and nuances of speech through artificial intelligence.
Once the AI is trained and learns how to make this voice, we can ask it to read any text using that person's voice. This allows us to use AI to make that person appear in a video or audio clip speaking in another language, but also for many other things. In fact, today you can use voice cloning for audio videos, texts, or audiobooks in your own voice without the need for tedious recording or high-end audio equipment.
Recently, many memes and humorous montages featuring cloned celebrity voices have gone viral. Be careful, and remember that cloning someone else's voice without their permission is unethical, and no matter how "funny" it may be at a given moment, it can also have legal consequences. Use these types of tools only for legitimate purposes.
- VoiceLab de ElevenLabs
ElevenLabs has one of the best voice cloning software available today. You can clone a voice with as little as a one-minute sample, achieving highly realistic and professional results using as little as 30 minutes of your own voice.
- Resemble AI
With Resemble, you can clone your own or someone else's voice by recording just 25 phrases into a microphone—or about 3 minutes of data. From there, the AI will be able to train itself and synthesize the voice correctly, avoiding the typical robotic voices that sound so bad in some primitive voice clones.
- Deep Voice 3
It's an open-source speech cloning software that you can install on your computer for local use. Available through GitHub, it's a neural text-to-speech (TTS) application that uses deep learning techniques to synthesize human voices.
The installation and configuration process of Deep Voice 3 is quite advanced and requires technical knowledge, so it is only recommended for those who have a lot of free time.
- Podcastle Revoice
It's a suite of tools designed to create podcasts in the shortest possible time. It includes a recording studio, an audio editor, a video editor, and even an AI-powered voice generator called Revoice.
We also find within the voice generator the possibility of cloning our voice, and creating a digital composite copy to create an audio track from a simple text.
- Tortoise-TTS
It's another open-source tool for advanced users. The app runs on Google Colab Notebook and requires the use of a recording program like Audacity to provide an audio sample for the AI.
The advantage of this type of tool, like Deep Voice 3, is that it's free. If you'd like to try it out, you can check out the project's GitHub site . You can also find an interesting YouTube tutorial on how to perform the entire cloning process step by step.
- Murf
It is a web application that allows you to clone your voice and create an artificial voice that mimics your style and voice, and is able to express emotions such as anger, joy, or sadness.
The app lets you adjust details like pitch and speed so the resulting audio matches your needs. The good thing about Murf is that it has a free version that lets you create 10 minutes of audio with your cloned voice.
- Speechify
Speechify features a wide range of text-to-speech and AI-powered audio processing tools. You can clone your voice in as little as 30 seconds of recording, preserving your original style and accent, then use the editor to narrate any text and use the generated content for commercial purposes.
- PlayHT
PlayHT can produce high-quality audio with an accuracy rate of up to 99%. It is aimed at content creation, podcasts, advertising, and businesses that need high-quality audio without having to invest in expensive audio recording and editing equipment.
- Respeaker
This voice cloning app is aimed at filmmakers, video game developers (it has over 100 NPC voices), and content creators in general. The synthetic voice is able to shape the tone and emotion of the voice, avoiding the need to re-record any audio, which is very practical.
It also allows you to make adjustments, such as converting an adult's voice to a child's, thanks to its proprietary digital signal processing algorithms. Reespecher offers a free 3-day trial, and from there, you can subscribe for $18 per month with a maximum of 100,000 characters per month.
