Resemble AI, a company focused on AI voice technology, has introduced a new tool called Rapid Voice Cloning that allows users to generate AI voice clones in just one minute. This development is set to make voice cloning technology more accessible to a wider range of users, particularly in fields such as content creation, personalization, and accessibility.
Previously, Resemble AI’s platform required users to record around 25 sentences or upload at least three minutes of voice content, which would then take another hour or so to create a voice clone. However, with the new Rapid Voice Cloning feature, users can now create a digital replica of their voice by providing a clear audio sample lasting anywhere from 10 seconds to 1 minute. The model instantly captures all the parameters, including accents, and delivers the result in just one minute.
Resemble AI has published voice clone samples to showcase the capabilities of their technology. These samples demonstrate how the Rapid Voice Cloning feature can faithfully mimic the unique intonations, pronunciations, and cadences of the original speaker’s accent. However, in tests conducted by VentureBeat, there were some gaps in the system’s recognition of accents, particularly with Indian accents. Resemble AI has stated that they will fix this issue and ensure that Rapid Voice Cloning supports most English accents.
The applications for Rapid Voice Cloning are wide-ranging. Content creators can use the technology to generate voiceovers, dubbing, narration, and dialogue for their podcasts, videos, audiobooks, or e-learning materials. Businesses can also create enhanced accessibility and personalization experiences using the technology. For example, a fitness app could use Rapid Voice Cloning to create a personalized AI coach that speaks to each user in a familiar voice, providing encouragement and guidance. Similarly, a virtual assistant could adapt its voice to match the user’s preferences, creating a more intimate and tailored interaction.
Resemble AI is not the only player in the voice cloning space. Another major player, ElevenLabs, offers a similar tool called Instant Voice Cloning, which can generate a clone almost instantly with just a minute of clear audio. Both Resemble AI and ElevenLabs also offer professional versions of their tools that cover more languages and accents.
Currently, Resemble AI allows users to create one free voice clone. For additional clones, users can subscribe to a paid plan starting from $29/month up to $499/month. There is also the option of a pay-as-you-go personal plan or a custom enterprise plan with custom pricing.
Overall, the introduction of Rapid Voice Cloning by Resemble AI is set to revolutionize the landscape of voice cloning technology. With its speed and reduced sample requirements, more users can now take advantage of this technology for various applications, from content creation to personalized user experiences. As the technology continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how it gets adopted and integrated into different industries.
