How to generate voice with AI?

In recent years, remarkable advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have led to groundbreaking innovations in the realm of voice generation. AI-powered voice generation technology has not only transformed the way we interact with devices but also opened up new possibilities for industries such as entertainment, customer service, and accessibility.

This article will guide you through the steps of generating a lifelike voice using a ready-to-use API and shed light on how Eden AI, a comprehensive platform aggregating the best text-to-speech APIs, emerges as the optimal solution for this task.

Introduction to Voice Generation

Voice generation, often referred to as speech synthesis or text-to-speech (TTS) technology, is the cutting-edge process of utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to create human-like spoken language from written text. This innovative technology converts textual content into spoken words, replicating the variations of natural speech patterns, intonations, accents, and emotions.
