Clone your voice

Make an Instant clone of your voice from 10 to 30 seconds of audio, confirm it is you by saying a spoken code, and use it in Text to Speech.

The Instant tab on the Voice Cloning page makes a copy of your voice from one clip of 10 to 30 seconds. You prove the voice is yours by saying a short sentence and a 4-digit code out loud. The voice is ready a few seconds later and you can use it in Text to Speech. For a closer match from longer audio, see Train a professional voice.

What you need

  • A workspace with credits. Cloning shows its price before you confirm. The charges are on Voice Cloning limits and credits.
  • The clone.use permission. The default Owner, Admin and Member roles have it.
  • A microphone the browser may use, or one audio file of your voice.
  • A quiet room. See Record a good sample for cloning.

Steps

Step 1: Open Voice Cloning and pick a dialect

Open Voice Cloning and stay on the Instant tab. Pick the Dialect of the voice you are about to record. Emirati is the default. The list shows a dialect only once it has live voices.

Step 2: Record or upload one clip

Press Record and read the line shown under Read this out loud, or choose Upload or drag a file and pick a file. Keep the clip between 10 and 30 seconds. A recording stops by itself at 30 seconds.

  • The page shows how long the clip is, and reads Good length when it is long enough.
  • You can use any audio file the browser can open. The page converts it first.
  • There is one clip only. A new clip replaces the old one.
  • Press Play to check the clip, or Remove to start again.

Step 3: Press Clone voice

When the status reads Ready, press Clone voice. Before you confirm, the page shows This voice costs about N credits., with N filled in for your workspace.

Step 4: Confirm it is you

The page opens Confirm it is you and shows Say this out loud: a sentence and a 4-digit code. Press Record, say the sentence, then say each digit of the code, and stop. The code recording is 3 to 10 seconds long.

The page explains: This keeps your voice yours: only the person who says the code can clone it. A code uses the digits 1 to 9 and runs out after 10 minutes. Press New code for another one. If the check fails the page reads Not clear, try again and gives you a new code.

Step 5: Use the voice

Your voice is ready in a few seconds. A message pops up: Your voice is ready. The result screen has Play, Use in Text to Speech and Clone another. Type a line under Type something to hear and press Play to try it.

The voice is named My voice, then My voice 2, and so on. It is also listed under Your voices on the same page.

Get it right

  • Speak naturally, in the dialect you picked, in one steady voice.
  • Use a quiet room. Background noise and echo are copied too.
  • Keep one speaker only, and aim for the full 30 seconds.
  • Keep the microphone at the same distance for the whole clip.
  • Say the sentence and the code clearly, one digit at a time.

More advice is on Record a good sample for cloning.

Worked example

Layla records 20 seconds in an Emirati voice with the Emirati dialect selected. The page reads Good length, so she presses Clone voice and reads the price shown. It includes the $2.00 fee and every line. Then she says the sentence and the code. A few seconds later the message Your voice is ready. pops up. She presses Use in Text to Speech and writes her first line with her own voice.

What happens next

The voice appears in these places:

  • Your voices on the Voice Cloning page.
  • The Voices page, under Recorded by you. See the Voice Library.
  • The Cloned filter of the voice picker in Text to Speech. See Generate speech.
  • Assets, on its Voice Cloning tab.
  • EchoReader.

A cloned voice does not work in agents yet. For a closer match from longer audio, see Train a professional voice.

Rename or delete the voice

Open the voice from Your voices to rename or delete it.

  • Renaming: a name has up to 60 characters. Names are unique in the workspace, and capital letters do not make a name different.
  • Deleting: press Delete. The voice is deleted right away. Anything already made with it stays where it is. The consent recording is kept 12 months. Deleting frees the slot and the name at once.

Troubleshooting

Too long, keep it under 30 seconds

The clip is over 30 seconds. A long clip is refused, not trimmed. Record again, or upload a shorter file.

Add N more seconds

The clip is shorter than 10 seconds. Keep reading until the page reads Good length.

This file could not be read. Try a WAV, MP3 or M4A file.

The browser could not open the file. Export it again as WAV, MP3 or M4A and upload it.

We could not use your microphone. Check the browser permission and try again.

The browser did not allow the microphone. Allow it in the browser settings for this site and press Record again.

Not clear, try again

The code recording did not match. Say the sentence and each digit of the new code. The code is spent after each try.

Code expired, get a new one.

The code is older than 10 minutes, or it was already used. Press New code and say the new one.

A workspace can keep up to 20 cloned voices. Delete one first.

The workspace is full. Delete a voice you no longer need, then press Clone voice again.

A voice with this name already exists. Choose another name.

Another voice in the workspace has this name, in any capital letters. Pick another name.

Price not set yet. Voice cloning opens once its price is published.

Cloning has no price yet, so it is closed. Nothing was charged. Try again later.

The two recordings are not the same person.

The clip and the code recording do not sound like one speaker. Record both yourself, in the same room, and try again.

We could not confirm it is you. Try again.

The code recording did not pass the check. Say the sentence and each digit of the new code, clearly.

Confirm it is you again.

The check was used up, or the clip changed after it. Press Clone voice and say a new code.

Too many codes. Wait a few minutes and try again.

You asked for more than 20 codes in 10 minutes. Wait, then press New code.
