AI voice technology has been around for a long time. In fact, the first English AI voice maker technology was developed in 1968 when a Japanese Electrotechnical Laboratory developed an articulatory model that, while primitive, was intelligible. Since then, the technology has progressed through the decades, with more commercial speech synthesis products being developed in the late 80s.
When it comes to AI voice generation, the biggest leaps happened as part of technology that was able to recognize speech patterns, interpret them, and produce an intelligible answer that was relevant and made sense.
The main difference between AI voice generation and regular text-to-speech is the ability to come up with creative answers on its own from the input it receives. Instead of using a rigid text-to-speech system, AI can take them to the next level, using advanced speech patterns, intonation, and tone of voice to deliver a more authentic and consistent experience to the listener. This is how our studio generates amazing voice overs.
Today’s AI technology uses building blocks called phonemes, which are distinct sounds that can be put together to form words and sentences. Since human language is very complex and relies on intonation, accentuation, and pronunciation when creating meaningful conversations, AI voice generation uses machine learning technology to continually learn and adapt according to new data it receives.
As the database of real voice actors expands, the combination possibilities become virtually endless. And the result is the possibility of creating new and unique AI speech that is distinct and unique to your brand and the messages you want to create.
