The realism and expressiveness achieved by modern TTS systems offer unmatched potential, particularly for the publishing industry
Text to Speech (TTS) technology, at its core, transforms written content into audible speech. Over recent years, with substantial advancements in machine learning, TTS technology has evolved to a point where synthesized speech is practically indistinguishable from human narration. The realism and expressiveness achieved by modern TTS systems offer unmatched potential, particularly for the publishing industry.
For news publishers, the sonic landscape is not just an emerging field but a requisite to engagement. Growing an audio presence has proven to enhance user retention and satisfaction. While the traditional route would involve hiring voice actors or getting reporters to narrate, these methods are neither time nor cost-efficient. With Text to Voice, stories can be vocalized immediately upon publishing, ensuring that the content remains fresh, relevant, and of high quality.
At ElevenLabs, our commitment to innovation has led to the launch of a new multilingual model. This allows the same narrative to be translated and vocalized in up to 28 languages. For publishers, this means unprecedented global reach, with stories resonating across different cultures and regions, all in a consistent and unified voice.
Supported languages now include: English, Korean, Dutch, Chinese, Turkish, Swedish, Indonesian, Filipino, Japanese, Ukrainian, Greek, Czech, Finnish, Romanian, Danish, Bulgarian, Malay, Slovak, Croatian, Classic Arabic, Polish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Hindi, Portuguese, and Tamil.
Our proprietary Voice Design tool provides a transformative experience for publishers. It facilitates the creation of completely unique voices based on selected parameters, such as age, gender and accent. Every generated voice is unique, ensuring that publishers can choose a particular voice to become synonymous with their brand or publication.
Professional Voice Cloning (PVC) technology at ElevenLabs offers another layer of customization. By cloning the voices of a publication's reporters, we can produce audio stories in their unique tones. This not only provides authenticity but also significantly reduces costs and time spent on traditional recording processes. What's more, our multilingual model is compatible with Professional Voice Cloning, ensuring that a reporter's voice can now speak all the supported languages.
