Easy to use and affordable
This website is so easy and clear that you will find yourself mastering all the tools in no time. The fact that regenerating the voice with different voices, punctuations, and tones does not deduct from your allowed minutes is so fair and reasonable. And the price is affordable too. Highly recommended

Murf Text to Speech
Text to Speech: What is it and how does it work?
In essence, text to speech means the automated synthesis of speech from a given text using machine learning models. Over the last 60+ years, since the IBM 7094 at Bell Labs first sang the "Daisy Bell", speech technology has evolved from basic methods like concatenative synthesis that created speech by piecing together recorded sounds to today’s sophisticated deep learning models. These models, trained on vast amounts of human speech, can now grasp phonetic details, context, and even emotions. Naturalness, diversity of accents and emotions have always been an important pursuit in this area of research.
Back in the day, text to speech was primarily created as an assistive technology to help individuals with hearing impairments, visual and learning disabilities, and aged citizens to understand and consume content in a better manner. Today, the applications of TTS systems have grown manifold and range from large scale content creation to automated customer service and more. With a touch of a button, TTS can take words on a computer or other digital device and convert them into audio files. Today, the technology is used to create narratives for explainer videos or product demos, turn a book into an audio book, generate voiceovers for elearning materials, training videos, ads, and commercials, YouTube videos, or podcasts, among other things.
How does a text to speech software work?
Text to speech software leverages artificial intelligence and deep learning algorithms to process the written input and sythesize a spoken output. The written text is first broken down into individual words and phrases by the TTS software’s text analysis component and then various rules and algorithms are applied to determine the appropriate pronunciation, inflection, and emphasis for each word. The speech synthesis component of the software then takes this information along with pre-recorded samples of individual phonemes and uses it to generate the spoken words and sentences, which is then spoken out loud using a synthesized voice generated by a computer or other device.
Speech Synthesis Model
Several types of technologies have been used historically for speech generation, including concatenative speech models using pre-recorded speech bits, formant synthesis using models of the vocal tract, Articulatory Synthesis, Parametric Synthesis, and Neural Deep Learning models. Deep learning speech models are the most recent and commonly used in the industry now to generate lifelike speech for various applications. With the advancement in this technology, the size of the models is also increasing, mirroring the evolution of GANs and other transformer-based AI models.
Linguistic Modelling and Phonetic Transcription
Multilingual text to speech models are trained to understand the grammatical structure of a given language and make sense of specific geographical nuances like date, currency, numbers, and abbreviations while generating speech outputs. There is also a commonly used technique that involves converting text into phonemes before the actual speech is generated. The key advantage of linguistic modelling is the accuracy of pronunciations, especially in a cross-cultural context. As an example, for Murf Spech Gen 2, we conducted extensive tests by linguists on over 10,000 sentences that revealed a score of over 98.8% word-level pronunciation accuracy for our English voice catalog.
Ethically Sourced Speech Datasets
Voice datasets used to train these models are another key element of the speech outputs. It is a bigger challenge for languages where less data is available in the open-source domain. A collective, responsible, and diverse sourcing approach will help the models learn from all parts of the world and be more versatile in the future.
