Best AI tools for Audio

AI tools for audio offer different capabilities. For instance, there are those that will let you create new audio content from scratch or modify existing content. They further could be used to generate music, voiceovers (like ElevenLabs, Murf and Fliki), podcasts (Podcastle is the prime example here), and sound effects for videos.

One popular application is text-to-speech (TTS), which converts written text into spoken words that mimic human speech patterns. This is particularly useful for video voiceovers, as well as podcasts – though they could also be used for reading out text for visually impaired individuals. Other AI audio tools can create music by analyzing patterns in existing music and generating new compositions or creating sound effects by simulating real-world sounds. As they say it, there’s something for everyone…

What can you do with AI tools for audio?

With AI tools for audio, you can create or modify all kinds of audio content, including:

  • Voiceovers

    Thanks to text-to-speech (TTS) technology, you can convert written text into natural-sounding speech that you can then use for voiceovers in videos or presentations. This is particularly useful if you don’t have access or can’t afford a professional voice actor, or need a voiceover in a different language. Services to try: ElevenLabs, Murf and Fliki, and perhaps FakeYou.

  • Podcasts

    Again, you can create a script and convert it to audio with the TTS technology, or you could use a different tool to create music for intros, outros, and jingles for your podcast. Probably the best tool for podcasts is Podcastle.

  • Audiobooks

    Related to the previous point, you can use these tools to narrate entire books, not just podcast episodes. Yes, they are that good and can produce some amazing results (that are only getting better).

  • Music

    Not all of us have the tech skills to create original music compositions from scratch. With modern AI tools, we don’t necessarily need those skills, as we can rely on AI to do the hard (tech) work for us. Just set parameters such as tempo and key, select instruments, and let the technology do its magic.

  • Sound effects

    It’s not just podcasts and videos you need sound effects for; you can also use them in game development if you’re into that sort of thing. Or create a ringtone of your own.

  • Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems

    You can use these tools to create natural-sounding speech for automated phone systems or virtual assistants.

Audio is getting increasingly interesting to AI software developers, and even today, there are some amazing tools to try out. Soon enough, however, it will be almost impossible to distinguish between the real voice and the one generated by AI. Cool and dangerous at the same time, don’t you think?
