In the words of Sir Arthur C. Clarke, \u201cAny sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

If that\u2019s true, then the year 2023 is full of magic!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Why do I say so? Look around yourself.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Automation today, is artfully sliding into all our daily affairs, without us even realising it sometimes!
\nFrom a simple coffee maker to something as advance as Amazon\u2019s Alexa, we are surrounded by mind blowing technology!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

And the best part is that these developments are on a constant rise, making our lives so much easier.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

One such great phenomenon has been noted in the field of Speech Synthesis.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The tech world has really come a long way since 1975, when \u201cMUSA\u201d<\/a>, one of the world\u2019s first speech synthesis systems was developed. It then consisted of a stand-alone computer hardware and a specialized software that enabled it to read Italian.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

These TTS systems were first developed to aid the visually impaired by offering a computer-generated spoken voice that would “read” text to the user.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

And do you remember the iconic voice of Professor Stephen Hawking<\/a>?!<\/p>\n

\"stephen-hawking\"<\/div>\n

By giving voice to one of the greatest minds on earth, TTS proved what it\u2019s capable of!
\nAnd the technology has been developing ever since.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

So much so, that until sometime ago, the only way to voice our video scripts professionally was to reach out to a voice over artist or a voice actor.
\nAnd now, we have advanced TTS softwares like \u201cAnimaker Voice<\/a>” as potential alternatives.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

But the important question here is, \u201cCan it be considered as a perfect substitute to human voice?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"thinking\"<\/div>\n

Let\u2019s see what a modern, sophisticated TTS is capable of delivering over and above a voice over artist.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Multiple Languages<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

Most businesses today either operate globally or aspire to become multinational.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Naturally, they look forward to publishing their video content in multiple languages to suit the different native audience.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

But the process of finding voice over artists for all languages is tiresome. The company has to make sure that they hire a voiceover artist whose voice suits the brand as well as the region the video is going to be targeted at.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Surely, voice over artists are great in what they do, but it\u2019s humanly impossible to be fluent in many languages and dialects at once!<\/p>\n

Usually, the 3 crucial elements for any perfect voice over are:<\/h6>\n
