Voice Cloning

What is Voice Cloning?

Voice cloning is the process of replicating or synthesizing a person's voice, typically from audio samples, to create its digital replica. This digital replica can then be used to generate speech for various purposes such as presentations, podcasts, audiobooks, and video voiceovers. Professional Voice Cloning (PVC) is a method that requires a minimum of 30 minutes of audio data for training. It produces a voice replica that is very faithful to the original voice, making it suitable for applications like videos, audiobooks, podcasts, and video games. Instant Voice Cloning (IVC) offers a quicker method, generating voice replicas immediately from shorter audio samples, although with slightly reduced quality compared to Professional Voice Cloning.

Who created Voice Cloning?

Voice Cloning technology was created by ElevenLabs. The company allows users to train custom voice models using their recordings to generate personalized AI voice clones, preserving unique voice characteristics like tone, inflection, and emotional range.
