    PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT
    Hollywood-grade quality for all

    When the voice of Darth Vader — the legendary James Earl Jones — hung up his helmet last September, Disney had a difficult decision to make.

    How would they keep the character alive, without that iconic voice?

    Rather than scraping around for a sound-alike, Disney turned to AI (proving, once again, Black Mirror is more documentary than fiction).

    Disney’s savior in this intergalactic crisis? A Ukrainian startup called Respeecher, specializing in speech-to-speech synthesis, using archival recordings of famous voices and a proprietary algorithm.

    Today, they're launching Respeecher Marketplace. Think of it like an Etsy store for voices, but with more deep learning involved. This new AI voice library is designed to democratize access to voice-swapping superpowers for independent creators.

    “We’ve been delivering major pieces from Ukraine despite the full-blown war in our country,” explains maker Alex Serdiuk. “We wanted to make our AI voice tool accessible not only for big players but also for independent filmmakers, game developers, voice actors, sound engineers, Youtubers and other content creators.”

    The Respeecher AI Voice Marketplace is like a 'voice wardrobe', allowing users to try on any voice, language, or accent from the gallery, while preserving emotions, volume, and emphasis.

    Need a French accent for your animated croissant? No problem.
