Fliki text to speech neural voices sound human

Introduction

Hey there, welcome back! We're diving into something super exciting today—Fliki’s neural voices. But first, a quick shout-out to all the amazing new subscribers following my webinars. You guys are incredible, and I'm thrilled to have you onboard. Keep those comments coming with topics you're interested in.

Now, let’s talk about the exciting updates in Fliki, particularly around neural voices. But before that, a brief update from my personal side—I just got back from a trip to see my son return from deployment. It was quite a moment for me, especially recalling my own times as a veteran. Sharing that experience with you guys is something I cherish.

All right, now to the meat of the matter. Let's explore Fliki's dashboard and how to harness its neural voices. Fliki offers a robust platform for creating video and audio content, and I've got some neat instructional segments lined up. Be sure to check the links in the description if you want to follow along.

Exploring Fliki Dashboard and Neural Voices

Fliki's dashboard is user-friendly, allowing you to organize your projects into folders. They call these projects 'files', making it streamlined to track your work. Creating a new project is simple; whether it's video or audio, you'll find it easy to get started.

What are Neural Voices?

Neural voices are not your run-of-the-mill text-to-speech. They leverage NLP (Natural Language Processing) and AI to create voices that sound almost human, mimicking intonation and nuance to a remarkable degree. While they aren't perfect, they are substantially better than traditional robotic voices.

Neural voices are integrated into Fliki, eliminating the need for extra applications. You can easily switch between standard and neural voices while customizing voice styles like 'promo' or 'conversational'.

How to Use Neural Voices in Fliki

Let's dive into using these neural voices. When adding scenes, you can select the text for each scene and choose a voiceover. I often use this for client projects requiring audio narration, and Fliki makes it incredibly straightforward.

You can switch voices with a simple click and even apply the change across all scenes in a project. This flexibility is immensely useful, especially when you need to produce high-quality audio quickly.

A/B Voice Comparison

To showcase the difference, I did a quick A/B comparison between a standard voice and a neural voice:

Standard Voice Sample:

Fliki helps you create audio...

Robotic and somewhat monotone, right?

Now, let’s listen to Andrew, one of the neural voices:

Surprisingly natural, isn’t it? Andrew sounds remarkably human, making him an excellent fit for various projects.

Final Thoughts

I’ve found neural voices incredibly promising, although there’s still a place for traditional voiceover talent, especially for projects requiring emotional depth. However, these AI-based voices offer a viable, cost-effective alternative. I've used them in projects with great client satisfaction.

Let me know what you think about neural voices in the comments, and stay tuned for more exciting updates.
