Using AI to Synthesize Voice
In this podcast episode, the host shares his experience of being unable to record his episode due to sickness while still maintaining the continuity of his show. He explains how he used artificial intelligence (AI) and a program called 11 Labs to synthesize his voice. By training the software with his voice recordings and typing the text he wanted to narrate, the AI program created a reasonably accurate audio file featuring his voice. This technology has the potential to allow individuals to continue having a voice even when they are unable to speak, making it a breakthrough for accessibility.
