Meta unveils Voicebox, a generative AI model for speech generation

Generative AI is making strides in various aspects of content creation. Now, tech behemoth Meta has deployed generative AI models for speech-related tasks. The company has unveiled Voicebox, a super tool that can help with audio editing, sampling and styling. Voicebox is the kind of technology that can aid content creators with an array of tasks, assist the visually impaired in hearing written messages, and enable people to speak in any foreign languages.

The company has claimed it has achieved a breakthrough in generative AI for speech. “We’ve developed Voicebox, the first model that can generalize to speech-generation tasks it was not specifically trained to accomplish with state-of-the-art performance,” the company wrote in its blog.
