Why AI voice overs?
Write - Edit - Broadcast | The future of voice overs is here
Deep learning systems have transformed our lives by leaps and bounds. From social media filters to voice searches, we are constantly engaging with Artificial Intelligence. One such transformation that Murf brings to you is AI powered voice overs, which you can create and edit in minutes. This might raise a few questions in your mind, and we are here to answer them!
What is an AI Voice?
We have been using voice overs for a century now, and as with everything else, the way we create them has also evolved. Introduction to AI voices is a step towards a new way of using voice to assist in our creative and professional needs.
AI voice is not a completely synthetic voice but a synthetic process of transforming text to human voice. The voices are drawn from original human voices, and AI is used to read and transform your text into speech. Since it is built on human voices, through developments in machine learning, AI voice generators have advanced from robotic intonations to speech that is closer to human-speak than ever before.
But at times, just translating text to speech with robust voices isn’t enough. To develop closer to realistic voices, there are many other factors that affect the delivery of the speech. Pauses, rise and fall of pitch, stress and play of emphasis translate the emotion and tone in our conversations. These have become an essential part of our speech and hence any use of AI voice generators should be able to provide such functionalities.
Murf Studio’s extensive library makes it possible to find the right accent, which is the first step towards finding the right tonality. But as we understand the various aspects of human speech, the Studio includes emphasis charts, pitch and speed adjusters, and pause manipulation settings so that one can add nuance to your voiceovers.
Does an AI voice sound realistic?
We hear this question quite often and no amount of explanations can do what an actual demonstration can. So hear these two recordings for yourself, one of an actual human voice, and a text to speech voiceover.
Are AI voices here to stay?
The traditional form of audio production is a long and complex process. It takes time and effort to find the right artist, provide accurate voice directions, hire a studio to record - which can be expensive, and then the editing and sound mixing before you achieve a finished product. Any changes can cost a good sum and this makes it difficult for creators and enterprises who have to create content regularly.
For big-budget productions, such a process would seem feasible and desirable but such a significant monetary overlay creates accessibility issues for others. AI voice generators have been attempting to tackle this issue to make voiceover production not just accessible but practically achievable. As text to speech voice over reduces cost, time and the need for software literacy substantially, with simple mechanisms such as text editors, AI has widened the scope of content creation and participation from creators.
Advancement in visual content creation has to be accompanied by ease of audio creation, and AI voice overs is the solution to bridge this gap. So going back to the earlier question, yes, AI voices are here not just to stay but are building a new pathway towards accessible audio production. And web-based voice makers like Murf, are a step in that direction.

Murf studio is a solution to the biggest pain point for voice overs post-processing - EDITING THE PROCESSED VOICEOVER.
One of the biggest pain points in the voiceover industry is to make changes to a recorded, post-processed voiceover. The choice is usually between re-recording and investing further time and money in the same project or forgoing the changes and making do with what is already recorded and available. Murf Studio deploys the confluence of AI technology, machine learning applications and voice cloning to help you resolve this practical difficulty. It is now possible to edit any of your voiceovers within minutes. At the back end, the Studio recognises the patterns, pitch and depth of voice and can recreate or clone it instantly, enabling you to edit your processed voiceover with all the changes you need.

Much like voice over videos, Apps and website demos are becoming famous as people are finding innovative ways to walk their customers through their platforms or apps.
