Hi PH! Thanks for the hunt Robleh! 👋
I'm the creator of Voicepods, a service that converts written content to human-like audio using state-of-the-art AI models.
I started Voicepods to allow anyone to be able to convert any written work into a podcast - but it's turning out to be a lot more than that. I've seen Voicepods be used for creating audio stories, product voice-overs, as well as of-course converting blogs to podcasts.
Here's a list of some cool things you can do:
1. Create realistic audio from text in 8 voices (male, female, and different accents)
2. Create a podcast that will be hosted by Voicepods. Everytime you convert another piece of text, it'll push it to your favorite podcast app like iTunes, Google Play Music, Pocket Casts, etc.
3. Publish to Google Assistant with One-Click. It'll automatically be published under the Voicepods Action, and it takes 3 days for us to get it approved as a custom action.
4. Add as a widget on Medium, Wordpress, your own website, or practically anywhere else on the web!
We're also actively doing pilots with custom voice models - so if that's your thing, give me a shout!
I would love to hear your feedback. 😁
Over the weekend I experimented with Lyrebird in attempt to recreate my voice to publish a podcast entirely via text. The results weren't bad but didn't sound natural enough.
I see you're exploring this space as well. How do you plan to create custom voices, @zohaibahmed / @saqibmuhammad2?
@rrhoover We're also taking a Deep Learning approach, there is a lot of excitement in this space, and I think it's just a matter of time that speech synthesis will be as good as some of the computer vision models that are out there.
Our existing solution is to work with customers more directly to get good quality data that we can use for speaker adaptation on our existing models. It's definitely a work in progress, and we hope to make it available through a UI for everyone one day when the results are consistent. For the moment, we're taking on selected pilots.
