Recently, a synthetic intelligence (AI) tool has emerged that creates a podcast by entering relevant data, reminiscent of Google’s ‘Notebook LM’, which has been popular. This time, the main focus is on various formats, and the fabric is implemented not only in one-on-one podcasts, but additionally in readings, one-on-one discussions, and even fairy tale style.
PlayAI announced a brand new launch on the twenty fifth (local time). Launch of ‘multi-turn speech’ modelannounced that it had done so.
The corporate recently launched ‘Play 3.0 mini,’ a multilingual real-time text-to-speech model equipped with voice cloning, a no-code voice agent platform, and API for conversational voice agents.
The most recent model ‘Play Dialog’ announced this time is a multi-turn speech model trained with a whole lot of thousands and thousands of conversations. Unlike existing speech models, it is superb at understanding context and responding with subtle emotions.
This model allows users to upload PDFs, videos, photos, songs, and URLs and convert them into speech. Specifically, it introduced the PlayNote function, which might be converted into podcast-style, executive briefings, detailed summaries, one-on-one discussions, satirical poetry, and even kid’s stories.
web appYou possibly can try using the function. I understand Korean, but I cannot produce Korean conversations.
The result is comparable to Google’s Notebook LM, and the standard can also be comparable. You possibly can upload photos and videos here to get interesting results. For instance, in the event you upload a photograph of a dish, PlayNote will create a 5-minute podcast concerning the dish.
Storybook-style reading also attracts attention. News reminiscent of the lawsuit between Elon Musk and CEO Sam Altman can also be transformed right into a fairy tale style. For instance, read a story in a sonorous voice, reminiscent of “Once upon a time, there lived a bird named Sam Altman in Harmony Forest. Sam was a bird that sang with essentially the most beautiful voice within the forest…”
Hamad Syed, founding father of PlayAI, emphasized in an interview with TechCrunch, “The Play Dialog model generates a voice that reflects the context and flow of the conversation and conveys voice and emotions naturally and appropriately.”
After all, competition on this field is fierce. Along with Google, Microsoft and Amazon have also introduced AI dubbing and voice cloning tools, and various firms, including Eleven Labs, are present.
Nonetheless, PlayAI announced on today that it had attracted $21 million (roughly KRW 29.4 billion) in seed investment from Y Combinator and others. Through this, we plan to strengthen our competitiveness.
