Voice Cloning

Voice cloning is a technology that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to create a synthetic replica of a person's voice from audio samples. It involves analyzing vocal characteristics like pitch, tone, and timbre to generate new speech that mimics the original speaker. This technology is widely applied in text-to-speech systems, virtual assistants, and media production.

Also known as: Voice Synthesis, Voice Replication, Speech Cloning, Vocal Imitation, AI Voice Generation
