“As the market for AI voice solutions grows, it is becoming
increasingly important that the generated voices sound and feel
hyper-realistic. Many elements need to be taken into account and
managed, including the tone of these voices – such as being happy,
somber or promotional. In today’s digital world, monotone
digital-sounding voices simply won’t cut it,” said Sean King,
senior vice president and general manager of Commercial Enterprise,
Veritone. “Addressing these needs is at the heart of our latest
version of Veritone Voice, which empowers the voice to be
articulate, genuine and nuanced for the content and audience.
Whether the voices are used for broadcast quality productions, the
metaverse or other applications, we believe that content creators
and brands will appreciate the authenticity our Veritone Voice
solutions offer as they move their projects forward.”
Since launching last year, Veritone Voice has attracted nearly
3,000 users who have generated synthetic voice clips used within
the enterprise, consumer broadcast and metaverse environments.
Veritone Voice has also won five marquee industry awards, most
recently being named the winner in the Best of Show: Radio World
category at IBC 2022 and being recognized by Speech Technology
magazine. Given its mission to create the industry’s top solution,
Veritone has added more than 70 licensable professional voice-over
artists’ AI voices to the growing roster of voices.
“Stock voices are great for many projects like training or
academic materials. When it comes to projects such as audio
descriptions, scene narration and radio imaging, a more humanistic
voice should be used. And that can be the AI voice of a
professional voice-over artist. It’s a winning setup for modern
voice-over artists and content creators. My AI voice provides
additional revenue streams that can work for me while I’m away or
doing other jobs. There’s room for both, and Veritone is the
steward for protecting our AI voice and ensuring proper licensing,”
said Bev Standing, professional voice artist and original TTS voice
for TikTok.
Veritone Voice’s premium voice-over talent includes respected
voice actors and producers such as Anne Ganguzza, Carin Gilfry,
Judy Fossum, Terri Nicole, Malik Rashad, Ian Russell, Bev Standing,
Ashante Timoll, sports commentator Randy Hahn, and more.
Offering the Voice Industry a Comprehensive Portfolio of
Solutions
The ability to control and manage the entire voice creation
lifecycle for efficiency and scale, coupled with a unique ability
to seamlessly work with third-party AI models, gives Veritone Voice
an advantage over other market solutions including an unmatched
breadth of capabilities. In addition to the newly available premium
voice-over voices, Veritone has added new enhancements, such as
Lexicon, that bring more custom implementation and expedite and
streamline workflow processes. Here are some of the newest
enhancements to Veritone Voice:
- Voice model creation efficiency: Veritone's recent
acquisition of VocaliD enables more efficient development of
robust, high-quality voices to enhance Veritone Voice's scalability
and time-to-market.
- New voices and languages: 70+ new stock voices and 15+
new languages available including Albanian, Arabic, Mongolian and
Nepali.
- Tailored experiences with Lexicon: Lexicon
enables customers to use their own dictionary of language so that
voice outputs recognize their custom terminology.
- Speech-to-speech (STS) enhancements:
- Veritone’s STS offering is now fully integrated with
Respeecher, the Emmy Award winning voice conversion and voice
cloning engine provider and creator of the synthesized young Luke
Skywalker’s voice for Disney+’s The Mandalorian.
- STS clip creation is now available within the Veritone Voice
application. Once the voice model is generated, the authorized user
can create STS clips without dependency upon managed services.
- Advanced features include built-in intonation and upgraded
editing: Intonation is a shortcut for pitch adjustment
that allows the user to drag points on a timeline where they want
the pitch to go up or down and with editing. Users can now edit
text post-clip creation with built-in auto save to “pick up where
you left off” for frequent users.
“We have gone from two weeks’ audio description production time
for a feature movie to one using Veritone Voice. With upcoming
enhancements, that one week will become four days. We have seen ROI
already and have had the ability to take on more projects. It’s
unbelievable how good this has been for us after using Veritone
Voice for less than 6 months,” said Silver Trak CEO Tim
Creswell.
Veritone Voice offers a comprehensive suite of integrated voice
features including creation, management, workflows, monetization
and licensing with compliance and protection. Built on Veritone
aiWARE, the first operating system for AI, Veritone Voice gives all
users access to multiple, best-of-breed voice engines that combine
with other cognitive capabilities such as translation, sentiment
analysis, content classification and many more to create content at
scale. To protect a creator’s synthetic voice, Veritone includes
such features as inaudible watermarks, traceability, licensing
protocols and proprietary tools to protect and place claims against
unauthorized monetization of content on social platforms. The
Veritone Voice solution supports both speech-to-speech and
text-to-speech capabilities.
The synthetic read-out of this press release was created using
professional voice actor Ashante Timoll’s AI voice developed
through Veritone's award-winning Veritone Voice solution.
