We are talking about one of the most fascinating technologies: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its application in speech synthesis. For many content creators—whether for podcasts, YouTube videos, or other educational content—it used to be a big challenge to find the right voice or to speak themselves. In this tutorial, I want to present to you the problems that have occurred in the past with speech production and show you how the situation has improved thanks to innovative tools.

Key Insights

  • The main challenges in speech production were finding and paying a speaker.
  • Today, there are AI tools that efficiently and cost-effectively solve these problems.
  • Technology is rapidly evolving, and what is considered innovative today may be outdated tomorrow.

Step-by-Step Guide

It is important to understand the difficulties you faced in the past when trying to add speech to your content. The biggest problem was that you either had to speak yourself or find a speaker, engage them, and pay them.

In the past, you had to search different resources to find a suitable speaker. This search was not only time-consuming but also often frustrating. You didn't know where to start the search or if the voice would fit your project.

Furthermore, paying a professional speaker was another hurdle. High-quality speakers can be expensive, and the budget of many projects hardly allowed room for such costs. This led to many potentially interested speakers creating content often without professional support.

However, there has been a paradigm shift. Thanks to artificial intelligence, you now have access to tools that are capable of producing high-quality speech output. You no longer have to worry about finding the right voice or hiring a speaker.

After this course, you will be familiar with these AI technologies and can efficiently utilize them. These technologies are not only more affordable than human speakers, they also offer you more flexibility and efficiency in your projects.

It is important to emphasize that technology is constantly advancing. The versions of the AI tools demonstrated to you today have already been subjected to the latest advancements. In fact, you will find that the versions you are testing now will soon be outdated as developers constantly work on improvements.

So, it is essential to stay up to date and strive to use the latest versions. All these tools presented to you today will definitely be further developed and improved.

Your options for creating content have expanded. For example, if you want to create a podcast or video, you can now use AI technologies that you can try out without involving a human speaker.
