Microsoft Introduces New AI Tool That Can Imitate Any Voice
a

new AI technology from Microsoft has recently gained a lot of attention. Using a brief audio recording of a person, the AI Text to Speech System (TTS), also known as Val-e, may transform written words into speech in that person’s distinctive voice. Microsoft credits the tool’s use of a “Neural Codec Language Model” and a training data set that is 100 times bigger than that of competing systems for the tool’s high level of accuracy.

The power of Val-e to convey the speaker’s feelings is one of its most amazing features. This means that the tool will be able to recite the text in the same tone regardless if a recording is made in an irate or sleepy manner. It is especially helpful for those who have lost their voice or capacity to talk because of this characteristic. It can also provide spoken orders from AI a more emotional quality.

There are issues with the tool’s potential for abuse, such as voice recognition or impersonation for intimidation, though. This technology may also make it simpler for con artists to produce convincing phony sounds due to the issues brought on by misinformation.
