Frequently Asked Questions
AI Voice is a computer generated voice powered by machine learning and can generate speech from text with natural intonation and real accents. AI Voices are created by machine learning models that process hundreds of hours of voice recordings from real voiceover artists and then learn to speak based on the audio recordings. Today AI Voices are used in several applications due to their natural-sounding tone.
The text to speech synthesis is real time in most cases, and only takes a couple of minutes to convert the input text into audio. Our TTS software runs in the cloud, so if you are converting large amounts of text then you can paste it in our voice generator’s interface and start the conversion. There's no need for you to wait for the conversion to finish. Once the audio is ready, the files will be available in your dashboard to download.
All our AI Voices support SSML features - rate, pitch, volume and pronunciations. You can add custom pauses for different punctuation marks to create a more natural speaking tone. Adjust the pitch of the voice to make it sound more deeper or child-like. The speaking rate allows you to increase or decrease the speed of voice. With our pronunciations library you can save custom pronunciations and use them whenever you create speech.

The best AI Voice is the one that truly resembles human voice and people are not able to identify that the voice was AI generated. Our latest voice model blurs the line between real and synthetic voice, and our users voted PlayHT as one of the leading best AI Voice providers.
There are two types of costs involved with AI Voices - cost of cloning or creating the voices, and the cost of generating speech using the voices. Both require GPUs. Generally, the cost for cloning varies from a few tens to hundred dollars per voice, where as the cost for generating speech depends on the volume of text you are looking to convert to audio.

PlayHT offers both - instant voice cloning and hundreds of ready to use voices. The next thing is to simply convert the text in to audio using the synthetic AI Voice. You can either use PlayHT's online Studio which offers a simple yet powerful Text to Voice functionality or use our API. Sign up to get started for free!

Data plays a key role when building AI Voice models. The audio needs to be clear and high-quality for the best results. PlayHT's voice models were carefully built using the best available open datasets along with state-of-the-art model architecture that generates the most realistic AI Voices.
PlayHT works online but we do offer on-premise deployments of our Voice models. Please reach out to us if you're interested. We are working on making the models smaller and faster so they can eventually run offline on devices.
