Clone your voice!

How PlayAI is voice cloning on command?

Back in 2016, two ambitious engineers, Hammad Syed and Mahmoud Felfel, started with a simple idea: a Chrome extension to read Medium articles aloud. Fast forward to today, their project has evolved into PlayAI, a full-fledged AI platform making waves in the world of voice cloning and speech generation.

Here’s what PlayAI does and why it’s catching attention:

• Custom Voices on Command: PlayAI allows users to choose pre-made voices or create clones by uploading voice samples. The system also includes tools to tweak tone, pacing, and intonation for a tailored output.

• Innovative Tools: With features like "PlayNote," PlayAI turns files like PDFs, videos, and even photos into podcast-like summaries or children’s stories. It can adapt content into engaging audio formats, like debates or bedtime tales.

• New Frontiers: PlayAI has stepped into automated customer support with AI agents powered by their voice engine, making conversations sound fluid and natural.

• Ethical Concerns: Critics worry about misuse. While PlayAI has safeguards, such as requiring consent for voice cloning, there’s little enforcement. Reports of deepfake misuse and offensive content slipping through have raised eyebrows.

Here’s what I think:

PlayAI is undeniably pushing the boundaries of AI speech tech, offering powerful tools with creative potential. But as the technology grows, so does the responsibility to prevent abuse.

What do you think? Is the future of audio creation exciting or a bit unsettling?

IMAX Turns to AI for Global Reach

With demand for non-English content soaring, IMAX is embracing AI to localize its original content and reach more viewers worldwide.

IMAX announced a partnership with Camb.ai, a Dubai-based startup, to translate its documentaries and other original works using advanced AI models.

Camb.ai’s Boli model handles speech-to-text translation, while Mars converts text back into speech, retaining nuances like tone and background sounds. Their platform supports over 140 languages, including many underrepresented ones.

Camb.ai’s tech, already used for live events like the Australian Open and Major League Soccer, processes translations with minimal delay, making it ideal for streaming and broadcasts.

This move reflects a broader trend. Non-English content is thriving—even in English-speaking markets. IMAX’s deployment will begin with widely spoken languages before expanding further.

IMAX’s president, Mark Welton, noted this approach will reduce costs and expand global reach, signaling a new era for immersive entertainment.
