Do you know Deepfake? And do you know that your voice can be cloned? About Deepfake technology, almost everybody knows a little about it, though most people only seem to associate it with face-swapping. But while its ability to manipulate video content is certainly very impressive, the technology is just as effective at cloning and swapping voices. In fact, deepfake voice software has been around for longer than its video counterpart and is in some ways more advanced. This technology is widely used in the production of audiobooks and to help restore the voices of people who have lost their voices. This YouTube video shows you how interesting it is once you start using deepfake audio software.

One of the main issues with regular deepfake audio software is that it can take quite a while to wrap your head around it. In short, this technology uses AI and machine learning capabilities to analyze the input voice and ultimately simulate the clone's voice. Sure, there are certain apps that try to simplify the process but these are generally hard to find and often quite expensive. Voice cloning software, on the other hand, is quite a bit more accessible and tends to be cheaper, if not downright free. At least in some cases.

Final Thoughts

Voice cloning software hasn’t been around for all that long but the technology can already do a lot of impressive things. Although it may seem like this technology is mainly used to impersonate famous people, which does happen on occasion, deepfake’s primary goal is entirely different. The future of deepfake will be in industries such as entertainment, advertising and automation, and we can already see signs of that happening right now. But while most of the tools we covered today aren’t necessarily aimed at regular users, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t check them out anyway. Especially the cheaper ones.

Finally, we emphasize again that we do such reviews for scientific purposes only, and we resist any misuse of Deepfake tools to fool and defraud others.

FAQs

How to Deepfake a Voice?

You can deepfake a voice using a wide variety of AI-based voice cloning software and apps. The process usually involves uploading samples of either your own voices or someone else’s and then letting the modulation engine process them. A lot of these tools tend to have a text-to-speech feature, which essentially allows you to make the resulting voice say whatever you want.

What is the Best Deep Voice Software?

As with most categories of voice cloning software, it’s hard to make the argument that one is hands-down better than all the others. That said, Resemble and Descript are generally seen as some of the most advanced at the moment so we recommend starting with those before testing any others.

  1. Great list Rose, Most of these apps are really useful and I want to add XVoice app to the list too, it is a free AI voice changer and it deserves the try

  2. HI I am looking for a software where a narrator reads a script in a language other than English and we should be able to add an additional few words in the same voice (name/place) later on by typing a text

    1. Well, there is a program called Balabolka that does that, but it's in computer voices you won't be able to add your own voice. Also, there is a browser extension called "Read aloud" that reads English and other languages.

  3. Thanks Rose for sharing the list of great AI Voice tools. I personally used this for my project, This tool is really impressive!
