Top 9 Tools to Clone Anyone's Voice with High Quality and AI
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 (to the point of being a bit scary, to be honest).
If you are still not entirely clear about the purpose of voice cloning, you will be interested to know that it is a deepfake-type technology capable of identifying, copying and replicating the tone of voice, inflections and nuances of a person's 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 with your own voice without having to go through a tedious recording process or have good audio equipment.
Recently, many memes and humorous montages with cloned voices of celebrities 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 may 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 out there. You can clone a voice with just a 1-minute voice sample, and achieve very realistic and professional results using as little as 30 minutes of your voice.
- Resemble AI
With Resemble, you can clone your own voice or someone else’s by recording just 25 phrases into a microphone, or in other words, providing 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 is an open source voice cloning software that you can install on your computer for local use. It is available through GitHub and is 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 is 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, creating a digital composite copy to create an audio track from a simple text.
- Tortoise-TTS
It is another open source tool for advanced users. The application runs on Google Colab Notebook and requires the use of a recording program like Audacity to provide a voice sample for the AI.
The advantage of this type of tool, like Deep Voice 3, is that it is free. If you want to try it out, you can take a look at the project’s GitHub site . You can also find an interesting tutorial on YouTube on how to do the whole cloning process step by step.
- Murf
It is a web application through which you can clone your voice and create an artificial voice that imitates your style and your own voice, and is able to express emotions such as anger, joy or sadness.
The app lets you adjust details like pitch and speed so that the resulting audio adapts to what you need. The good thing about Murf is that it has a free version where you can create 10 minutes of audio with your cloned voice.
- Speechify
Speechify has a wide range of text-to-speech and AI voice processing tools. You can clone your voice in just 30 seconds of recording, preserving the 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 up to 99% accuracy. It is aimed at content creation, podcasting, 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 emotions of the voice to avoid having to re-record any audio, which is very practical.
It also allows you to make modifications such as converting an adult's voice to a child's voice, thanks to its digital signal processing algorithms. Reespecher offers a free 3-day trial, and from there we can subscribe for $18 per month with a maximum of 100,000 characters per month.
