Voice Cloning F.A.Q.
Respeecher F.A.Q.
A comprehensive list of speech synthesis questions and answers that will tell you everything you want to know
Voice actors are a critical component of a project's success, providing all the performing talent while we simply modify their voices. In the past, some voice actors were afraid of synthetic voice technology, worried that it would take their jobs. However, Respeecher has shown that the best results come from combining the talents of a good voice actor with voice cloning technology.
We work directly with some voice actors, helping them to scale their performances by simplifying the process of creating character voices and allowing them to speak using the voice they had many years ago. Additionally, voice actors who use our Voice Marketplace can access any voice in our library, enabling them to find work using their ability to perform, their voice, and their professionalism. This approach delivers better voiceover performances, distributes the workload more evenly for content creators, and makes work fairer for voice actors.
Here are some of the opportunities that the technology is capable of delivering:
- Work allocation. Usually, one actor = one character. Voice cloning technology makes it possible to hire actors not only for their voice but for other other acting qualities.
- Character voices. Voice actors often have the task of performing unusual voices.
- Voice rejuvenation. It often happens that for the voice acting of video games, scenes like flashbacks with a younger version of a character are needed.
- Multilinguality and accents. Voice cloning can also be used to translate an actor's words into different languages.
- Monetization. Actors now have the opportunity to monetize their voices without having to work directly in voice acting.

Voice cloning is one of these types of technologies that is capable of drastically changing the way people with speech and voice disabilities function on a daily basis.
People who suffer from Parkinson’s disease, ALS, multiple sclerosis, vocal fold paralysis, pharyngeal cancer, or other ailments can use Respeecher to replicate their own voices and speak naturally. While we are not yet delivering a final solution for patients, our technology has the potential to be integrated into hardware through licensing for B2B companies, and help people with neuromuscular problems and laryngectomy communicate in their normal voices.
Respeecher takes responsible use of its voice cloning technology seriously and has implemented various measures to prevent potential misuse. These measures include integrating mitigation tools in both business streams and pre-selecting projects based on our ethical policies.
When working on tailored projects, such as cloning someone's voice, we require permission from the voice source. Additionally, Respeecher's ethical policy prohibits deceptive uses of synthetic speech, and we have pledged never to use the voice of a private person or actor without their consent. Although in a few instances, historical figures' voices have been used to showcase the technology's potential. Furthermore, Respeecher is developing two technical defenses: a synthetic speech detector and audio watermarking to help prevent any potential misuse of its voice cloning technology.

Our aim is to expand filmmakers' creative horizons and democratize the technology so that even smaller film and TV studios and video game developers can utilize it to stretch their budgets and compete with bigger studios. We want to empower small creators to realize their ideas and creativity without being held back by financial limitations.
We are continuously improving our technology by making it faster, more efficient in terms of data requirements, user-friendly, and less resource-intensive. However, our vision doesn't just stop at the entertainment industry.
The healthcare applications of Respeecher's platform are of paramount importance, and we also have initiated several ethics-oriented initiatives to ensure that our technology is used for good and not abused.
We also work on expanding our applications for cybersecurity pros: prevent vishing, improve pen testing, or enhance the accuracy of voice-based identification.
