Voice imitation algorithms (also known as Speech synthesis[1]) are a form of Synthetic Media, used to imitate human speech. They achieve this by using machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques[2].
History
Commercial implementation
The Speak and Spell was originally introduced in 1978 by Texas Instruments. It featured a keyboard and a speech synthesizer, which was used to convert words that were typed onto the keyboard into synthesized audio that it played from speakers.
Lyrebird (also known as Lyrebird AI) was a Montreal based company founded in 2017 focused on speech synthesis and voice imitation.[3] In 2019 it was acquired by Descript, an American company focused on audio editing software, specifically tailored towards podcast creators.[4] Lyrebird AI uses artificial intelligence and voice samples to accurately replicate human speech.
China-based technology company Baidu has used neural networks and deep learning to create accurate voice imitations from thousands of collected voice samples.[5][6]
