The Best AI Voice Generators

I looove the generated voice! And generally all voices on Artlist feel much higher quality compared to other platforms. They are crisp, clear and sound 100% human. What's also special about this platform is that it's a complete tool box, you can create voices, images, and videos and assemble everything right then and there. Plus they have a free sound effect library. A super fun gimmick they have are effects such as monster, announcement or upstairs neighbor. I haven't seen anything similar anywhere else. The interface is super clear and make more fun to work with then Elevenlabs for example (which I found harder to navigate). I think this is my clear favorite and I only deducted one point for user experience due to the fact that we are unable to download the free voice over.

Technically this is the best tool: judging by all the advanced features they offer. If only they would all work well. Let me explain what I mean by special features: you can isolate sounds, design completely new voices, generate sound effects or re-dub videos into a different language with Elevenlabs. But practically it just doesn't work. For example I the voice design, which in my opinion just matches the prompted voice to an existing voice instead of generating it anew. And I was disappointed by the result, it really didn't sound like I had described it. Similarly with the dubbing, the generated content is completely useless. The company has been around long before the big AI hype, but hasn't quite figured out how to actually ride it.

Lovo AI (aka Genny) is pretty nice! I really like their voices because they sound very natural. For my test it added an ""ah"" by itself into the generation, which makes it sound more real. This is really unique to Lovo AI, no other tool does this. They also offer a pronunciation editor, which is really helpful for example, for my website's name: many tools say sme instead of S.M.E. Also, Lovo AI lets you easily edit different voices together with their dashboard, visualising them separately. And you can super easily add a video frame and generate voice-overs within one tool. I only deducted a few points because I find it annoying that changing the voice doesn't automatically apply it to the generation but requires an extra step and I find their V2 voices which are automatically applied within the filter not so good. I prefer the older versions which sound much more real.

Overall I really like Resemble, it has cool features, the dashboard is great and 100 free credits for starters with downloads is a nice offer. I chose the voice "Ember" for my test and gave her various different challenges.
Their filters are really cool and useful, the Tone of Voice filter for example lets you choose a whisper, slow or emotional voice.

Prompting:
It's kind of cool that you can give instructions via prompts. Although it didn't work, I had asked for my voice Ember to emphasize "small business" but she didn't. To be fair, it actually says "Describe the voice characteristics to help generate more accurate results" so my bad. So I gave it another try and asked for Resemble AI to make Ember sound tired, which it did quite well.

Voice Changer:
I've also tested the voice changer which didn't output a so much different voice from the original. Only the voice pitch was slightly adjusted, at first I wasn't even sure it's been applied already.

Special feature:
Exaggeration feature is super fun, I've asked Ember to say "Let's see how much Ember can exaggerate...like damn, Jason Momoa is soooo good looking!" I think she did an awesome job!

Bummer:
At one point Resemble AI just kept loading and was stuck. After refreshing the page my script was gone.

Murf AI has been around when I first started testing tools two years ago already. Back then it seemed like they couldn't decide if they wanted to be a note taking app or rather a voice generator, but by now they clearly have chosen the second path. They let you choose from a large variety of voices and I like that they have a voice style feature, which let's you adjust the voice to sad, calm, conversational, promo or a few more. Just like Elevenlabs they offer a dubbing feature, but it also works terribly. I would focus on the main features like voice generation with this tool and wait until these extras work better.

Hume looks super fancy, the branding is definitely supreme, but the plain text-to-speech feature didn't impress me much. There aren't too many options, like with adding emotions like with ElevenLabs or Artlist and their upstairs neighbor or monster voice.
It's built similar to Lovo AI where you can create various voices as part of a full script or conversation, which is nice.

But what actually blew my mind was the voice converter! I uploaded a recording where I'm talking about how hot Jason Momoa is and let a man say it. It's so good and funny, you should see it for yourself in the video. This is a strong advantage. But there is another one, and that's absolutely the future:

The Speech language model (EVI from Hume is Empathic Voice Interface) is super impressive. As you'll see in my video, it determines various emotions or markers in my voice, which I assume will make the voice assistant react accordingly. The reactions of the voice character were pretty good too, and we should keep an eye on Hume just for that.

Bummer: The dashboard isn't very handy and for example to change from American to British voice, you'd have to go through a detour and couldn't change it just with one click.

Generally I think this is a cool tool and the 'Read you document' feature works really great. I also tested the clone my voice function, but to be honest it really didn't sound like me. And the avatars still need some fine tuning to properly work for videos. Also the famous voices they advertise are not available. Still, I think Speechify is unique with the "read my document" feature and if this is what you need, you'll be happy with it.

Even though I like the simplicity of this tool and also how nice and clean the interface is, I think DomoAI doesn't offer a good deal if you are looking for an advanced voice generator. Currently it offers only 6 voices plus custom voices you can record right away. It was super easy to record it, but I don't feel like it really sounds like me.

Sometimes simple is all you need. This is the tool for it and literally looks like windows 97. Voicegenerator.io is completely free, but you have to pay with a bit of your patience. The features are extremely basic and so is the interface. You can choose the voice, adjust pitch and speed. That's it! I haven't quite found out how to download the voice, it said something about downloading a Google TT file (?), but I didn't feel hacky today so instead I just screen recorded the voice.

Canva's voice generation feature is very limited. It's actually part of their big app collection and you can choose of various apps, but none of them are comparable to how professional Artlist or Elevenlabs are. Also you'll just receive limited daily credits, even if you are a Canva Pro user. I usually just use them if I want to generate a video with a voice over and can't record it yet. In these cases I generate a voice over with Canva as a placeholder, so that I can already edit the video and have a good idea of timing. lovo

Voicemaker is a very basic tool, with a very basic dashboard (maybe created with Lovable?). What bothers me the most are the voices, they sound dull and not real. And the user experience isn't so good either: I wanted to test the Speech to speech feature and first it let me record something. When I hit the ""generate voice"" button it first asks me to login. Which made my recording disappear, so I recorded it again, just to find that on the free plan I can't use this feature. They should improve user navigation and their voices. What I like is that they have 3 Hungarian voices, which hints at a wide range of localisations (I'm originally Hungarian, szia!)

I would have loved to test PlayHT, but the Google login failed multiple times and there was no option for a new registration (only for a login of existing clients - weird!). I assume that they have just recently changed their setup and haven't optimised it yet. Well, pity. But I saw that they also offer various voice styles such as advertising, character, narrative or educational. And they must have a wide range of languages, because I saw even Finnish in the examples.
