AI voice generators use neural deep learning to create realistic and natural voices from text. You can adjust emphasis, pitch, age, gender, accent and even add emotions and laughter to bring your scripts to life.
In this article, I’ve ranked and reviewed the best AI voice generators with their audio samples to help you make an informed decision.
And don’t worry, none of these tools sound robotic like Siri or Alexa. You can verify from the outputs.
Let’s get started!
What Are The Best AI Voice Generators?
1. LOVO (Genny)
LOVO AI is an AI voice generator tool with a very large collection of voices (over 500). Their AI voice generator is called Genny.
It also includes a fully featured video editor, AI scriptwriter, a huge royalty-free media library, and many more intuitive features outlined below.
LOVO (Genny) Voiceover Samples
I used the PRO plan’s beta voices to generate the below samples.
Sophia offers an enthusiastic and excited voice. Best for YouTube and product ads.
May is a mature voice, with a flair for slow burn scenes.
Chloe voice is suited for audiobooks and serious scenes.
“Cunning” Goblin is suited for voicing horror movie and story characters. You can even add creepy laughter by just typing “haha”.

Pricing
Free: 2-week free trial of Lovo PRO version which includes their best voices (called beta voices).
Basic: USD 19/month (billed annually) with 2 hours of voice generation.
Pro: USD 36/month (billed annually) with 5 hours of voice generation and beta voices.
If you are working on a professional project, I recommend opting for Lovo PRO because the lifelike quality of beta voices makes it worth it.
Pro+: USD 99/month (billed annually) with 20 hours of voice generation. Suitable for heavy users.
Going for annual billing saves you 25%. Consider monthly billing if your project is short-term.
My Take
Lovo is one of the best AI voice generators because of its large library of high-quality voices segmented by gender, use-case, nationality, etc. and a rich set of features like AI scriptwriter and video editing tools.
It is the perfect tool to produce YouTube videos, podcasts, audiobooks, ads, etc. from scriptwriting to voiceover in one place.
2. Play.ht
Best bang for your buck (up to 6 million words/year, multicharacter, multilingual)
Play.ht is an AI powered text-to-speech generator used and trusted by big companies like Verizon, Samsung, and Hyundai.
Play.ht also has a podcasting tool which integrates directly into popular Podcasting platforms and a SEO friendly audio player which you can embed on WordPress.
It particularly shines in vernacular languages and accents, making it an excellent choice for regional videos and multicharacter films. Play HT is also the only AI voice tool that offers multilingual voice cloning.
Play.ht Voiceover Samples
These samples are in mp3. You can also download voice-overs in .wav format.
Fredrick is a really nice voice for explainers and YouTube mini-documentaries.
Some voices can even laugh (type “haha!”) and their AI changes tonality based on meaning of the text.
AI voices like “Noah” can even whisper.
There are over 832 voices, including 11 ultra-realistic voices like listed above. This means that with Play.ht you can create screenplays with multiple character voice-overs! 🤯
Each character’s voice can have varying attributes, like:
- Male/Female
- Young/Old
- Slow/fast/neutral tempo
- Loud/neutral/whispering
- Adjust speed manually (1x,1.2x,1.5x, 0.8x, etc.)
- Different speaking styles (narrative, advertising, documentary, etc.)
It also has the best voice cloning (paid add-on) out of all tools tested. Output is high quality, and you can clone your voice in multiple languages.
Key Features
- 832 AI Voices with 142 languages and accents (including support for multiple vernacular languages)
- “Ultra Realistic” AI Voices tailor-made to be indistinguishable from humans for specific use cases like audiobooks, e-learning, marketing.
- Various voice styles like Newscaster, Conversational, Customer Support, and Cheerful.

- Best-in-class voice cloning with multilingual support.
- Great collection of non-English languages like Hindi.
Cons
- “Ultra-realistic voices” are only included in Premium plan and above.
- Voice cloning is a separate paid add-on; but the quality is excellent.
Pricing
Free: 5000 words for non-commercial use and requiring play.ht attribution.
Pro: $29.25 per user/month ($351 billed annually), 600k words/year
Premium: $49.50 per user/month ($594 billed annually), 6 million words/year
Only the premium plan offers ultra-realistic voices, and it’s a bit on the costly side. But, the value for money is high due to the 6 million word voice generation balance.
I suggest grabbing it during special offers like new year deals, which often carry 25%-50% discount.
Going for annual billing saves you 25%. Consider monthly billing if your project is short-term.
My Take
Play.ht is the best AI voice generator overall because it has a large library of voices belonging to different nationalities, provides fast and high-fidelity voice cloning and its pricing is really pocket-friendly with its generous yearly word limits.
If you need AI voice generation at a scale for your product ads, trainings, customer support and more, Play.ht is your best bet.

Speechify is a text-to-speech software that increases your productivity by reading your ebooks, PDFs, articles, etc to you in a natural-sounding voice. It also provides impressive voice-over generation capabilities.

But, if you run a large firm or business and your primary requirement is voices with different accents for regional training videos and customer support systems, then Play.ht is the solution trusted by industry giants like Verizon.
Play.ht is another great choice with a free version that allows you to generate audio without any watermarks. It is also the best AI voice cloner and has support for podcasting. The only drawback is that the free version does not allow commercial usage.
Listnr is a good AI voice generator with podcast support. It also has a large catalog of AI voices.
If you are looking to create presentations in Google Slides that will require AI voiceovers, go for MURF as it has an addon for it. Murf’s collection of African American accents is also better than other AI voice generators. The drawback of MURF is its smaller collection of AI voices but the quality of collection is good.
Among the budget options, Voicemaker is the cheapest AI voice generator as it offers 2.4 million characters per year for only $50. But its voices are not unique and sound closer to Microsoft azure voices.
Finally, if you are looking for a text-to-speech tool for listening to books and articles, you may go for Speechify. Speechify is great for listening to text. However, downloading text-to-speech files as mp3 for commercial usage requires you to message them for a custom offer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is an AI Voice Generator?
AI voice generators use machine learning and deep learning algorithms to generate human-like speech from text.
There are typically two approaches to generate speech (voice) from text:
- Traditional TTS Synthesis: AI takes the text and turns it into speech by putting together parts of pre-recorded speech. It decides which parts to use based on the text, tone, and other speech elements.
- Neural TTS: AI uses deep learning to directly make speech from text. It’s trained on many examples of text and speech to produce more natural-sounding speech. Deep learning models provide more natural and human-sounding voice.
AI voice generators that use neural TTS perform better and give voices that sound closer to humans.
What are use-cases of AI voice generators?
AI voice generators can used to create voiceovers for:
- Audiobooks
- YouTube
- Documentaries
- Stories
- Games
- Animation
- Podcasts
- Educational videos
- Products ads
- Corporate training videos
AI voice generators offer numerous benefits that can help businesses boost efficiency, save time, and improve customer experience. Here’s how:
- Virtual Assistants: AI voice generators can be used to create virtual assistants that can handle customer queries, provide product information, and perform various tasks. This can free up valuable time for human employees and allow them to focus on higher-value tasks.
- Improved Customer Experience: Communicating using voice provides a more personal experience to customers than text. This can improve customer satisfaction and increase the likelihood of repeat business.
- Accessibility: AI voice generators can be used to provide audio output for visually impaired individuals, making websites and applications more accessible.
- Cost Savings: AI voice generators can be less expensive than hiring human voice actors, and they can generate speech at scale with consistent quality. Any needed revisions can also be done with ease.
- Powerful Storytelling: The best AI voice generators listed here make it possible for small creators and hobbyists to voice a large number of characters in their stories and plays. Without these paid and free ai voice generators, such small creators would not be able to bear the costs of hiring and rehiring human voice actors.
Can AI Text-To-Speech videos be monetized on YouTube?
There are several channels on YouTube that use AI TTS and are monetized. YouTube monetization policy explicitly does not forbid AI voice. However, YouTube policy does mention that content like below will not be monetized:
- “Autogenerated content that computers post without regard for quality or viewer experience.”
- “Posting the same content repeatedly across one or more channels.”
- “Content intended to look like someone else is posting it.”
- “Content that has been technically manipulated or doctored in a way that misleads users.”
Therefore, ensure that you only use AI voices that you have rights to (paid license), do not clone voices of other people without permission, use natural sounding AI voices (so that content does not sound automated) and apart from AI TTS, add unique and original value to your video.
What is the most realistic AI voice generator?
As per my tests and overall reviews on the internet, MURF, LOVO, and play.ht have the best collection of realistic AI voices. These tools use advanced machine learning and deep learning to create voices that sound like real human beings.
What is the best AI voice generator for YouTube?
The best AI voice generator for YouTube is LOVO.ai. It offers 500+ voices and 142+ languages and accents. You can vary emotion, speed, pitch, and emphasis, etc. It includes a video editor, a large stock media library, and an AI script writer.
What is the best free AI voice generator?
Play.ht is the best free AI voice generator as it offers 5000 free words per month for AI voice generation. The free plan includes the ultra-realistic voices but only allows non-commercial usage and requires attribution to play.ht.
How much AI voice generators cost?
The prices of AI voice generators range from free to as high as $99 per month. LOVO.ai, Play.ht, MURF.ai, and Voicemaker are some affordable AI voice generators with free plans as well as paid plans starting from as low as $19/mo (billed annually).
Is it legal to use AI voices?
It is legal to use AI voices in most cases, especially if you have a paid license for the AI voice or it is a clone of your own voice. The legality of this technology varies depending on how it’s used and specific jurisdiction. For example, in California, it is unlawful to knowingly use another’s voice or likeness without that person’s prior consent. Similarly, cloning voices you don’t have rights to can land you in legal trouble.
Can AI voice generators replace human voiceover artists?
AI voice generators allow you to generate human-sounding speech with a variety of customizations like pitch, speed, emphasis, and even emotion. But they cannot completely replace human voiceover artists. AI generated voices work well for use-cases like audiobooks, customer support, product training videos, etc.
But if you are looking to build a brand or have a project requiring significant emotional range like anime, consider hiring human voiceover artists or cloning your own voice. AI text to speech tools can prove valuable to supplement human voiceovers in multilingual film and media.
Can AI voice generators be used for video editing?
AI voice generators like LOVO and Murf.ai include video editing tools. For example, MURF’s Voice Over Video tools allows you to auto-sync your generated voiceover to your uploaded video. You can also trim, split, and move video clips on the editing timeline according to your voiceover.
Can AI voice generators produce voices in multiple languages and accents?
AI voice generators like LOVO, MURF, and Play.ht can be used to generate AI voices in different languages, accents, and nationalities. LOVO supports 500 voices in 142 languages, MURF supports 120 voices in 20 languages, and Play.ht has 907 voices covering almost every nationality and language including Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Spanish, French, etc.
Which is the best AI voice generator for Hindi?
Play.ht is the best AI voice generator for Hindi and other Indian vernacular languages. It has over 907 voices including voices in Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, etc.
Which is the best AI voice generator for camera shy people?
Synthesys and Typecast are best AI voice generators for camera shy people as they allow the users to create AI avatars in addition to the AI voiceovers. Users can customize the look and environment of their AI avatars.
What is the best AI voice cloner?
AI voice cloning is a technology that uses artificial intelligence to generate a digital copy of a human voice. As per my tests, Play.ht is the best AI voice cloner. It can generate a realistic digital copy of your voice from 30 seconds of original audio recording.
What is the best AI celebrity voice cloner?
If you want to imitate a celebrity’s voice, Play.ht and Celebrity Voice Changer by Voice.ai are your best bet. Play.ht allows you to clone any voice including voices of celebrities with as little as 30 seconds of audio. Remember to only clone voices you have rights to and never abuse voice cloning.

This was a fantastic overview of all the players in AI text to speech space. Lovo’s “May” voice sounds kinda like seductive, not gonna lie!
Wow, those AI-generated avatars are pretty mind-blowing! If I can get a virtual assistant with my own voice to manage my schedule in the next few years, the future is going to be amazing. But a little scary too if these voices can be manipulated for malicious purposes.
The future arrives whether we build it with wisdom or race recklessly into the unknown. 🙂
Play.ht had really good Hindi voices. I am happy! Thanks for the review.
Glad to hear that, Amit!
Thanks for the in-depth review, Lisa. Yours was the only review that had actual output samples and screenshots.
I went with Lovo for my YouTube channel and am pretty satisfied with the first video I created using it.
Thanks again and keep writing such reviews!
Glad to hear that, Dan. Feel free to share your video here so that we can show it some love!
I want to start a motivational podcast like Mulligan Brothers. I have the scripts ready, but my voice is not very deep and dramatic. Which voice/tool would you recommend?
Hi Nick, as per the article, you could try “Terrell” voice from Murf or Josh from Eleven Labs.
Kinda funny that your #1 tool has a voice by my name… I feel special haha 😀
Aww, that’s nice! Hope you enjoy using it.
Is clipchamp totally offline and free forever? I do not want to use a subscription model.
Yes, Celeste. Clipchamp is completely free (at the time of writing). In fact, it can be used offline, without any subscription, and comes pre-installed in Windows 11!
Do you think these tools will replace human voice actors? I am a freelance voice actor. :/
Your voice matters. AI can’t replicate the heart behind human art. Your craft – at its best – is art, emotion and empathy. So create with passion, keep honing your skills, and know that real relationship will always crave real humanity.
