AI Voice Cloning
AI that recreates a specific human voice from a short audio sample.
Also known as: voice cloning
AI voice cloning is the technology that recreates a specific human voice from a short audio sample — sometimes as little as 5–30 seconds. The model learns the unique tone, accent, rhythm, and inflections of the source voice, then can generate new speech in that voice from text. ElevenLabs, Cartesia, Resemble AI, LOVO, and Play.ht all offer voice cloning. Legitimate uses include audiobook narration, voice restoration for people who have lost theirs, accessibility tools, and dubbing. Illegitimate uses include voice fraud and deepfake scams. Most providers require consent verification before cloning a voice.
