Although it has been possible to use technology to recreate someone's voice for several decades now, machine learning and other advances are enabling us to create those AI voices (or synthetic voices) in less time, for less money, and with less data to help people with a range of different needs.

Podcasting is undeniably having a moment. Over the past few years, podcasts have seen a massive rise in popularity and currently have over 380 million listeners worldwide. And with such a huge global footprint comes a diversity of listeners who fall well outside the English speaking demographic. But how do you reach those listeners if you don’t speak their language? Creating translated versions of your episodes may seem like an easy solution, but producing and recording them comes with a bunch of extra costs, like renting space and sourcing equipment. It’s also a big demand on both your time and that of your guests. But what if there were an AI solution that could provide you with quick and easy vocal translation, in the original voice of your host? That’s where the new Veriton Voice Network comes in. Not only does it translate your content, but it does so in the original voice of your host! Joining us today to expand on this exciting new technology is John Murphy, one of the latest additions to the team at Veritone. We discuss some of the biggest pain points that podcasters are currently facing, like how to stand out and find a listenership when there are so many podcasts to choose from, and how the Veritone Voice Network addresses them. Our conversation covers all this and much more, so make sure you tune in to hear it all!
