We are living in the golden era of Artificial Intelligence. The technological growth that has surged in the last couple of years has allowed Voice Generation that mimic human style. While the AI Voice Generation has been there for quite some time, they didn’t reflect that human-like voice earlier that would create an engagement with the listener or viewer. They often had a monotonous tone and lacked emotional depth.
Whether you are an enterprise or a small business owner, you can deploy thousands of AI voices to convert your text to speech within minutes these days. And the best part, a lot of voice-generation tools are partially free. In this post, we are going to talk about them and their other features that significantly aids content creation.
Features of today’s AI-driven Voice Generations
Today’s AI Voice generators are capable of performing a variety of tasks that aid content creation. Almost every company in this industry provides personalization options for voice generation that make the audio extremely similar to that of a human-generated voice rich with emotions and tonality.
Then there are the voice cloning features that are mostly available on paid plans only. With voice cloning, you can upload audio samples of any human being, and the tool will generate the same audio tone for the given texts.
Some companies claim to provide real-time or near-instant dubbing and translation of the audio and texts. We haven’t tested this feature yet.
Then there is a company by the name of Eleven Labs that aims to provide voice isolation feature which extracts audio dialogue only a video by effectively removing the other noises in the background.

Invideo AI goes a step further. You provide it with text and it will create an AI-generated video with an extremely human-like voice. InVideo adds plenty of more details apart from the given text. We loved the detailed explanation in the video which we instructed InVideo to create for YouTube. Apart from the audio, even the AI-generated people looked ultra-realistic.
