Voicemod, a Spanish artificial intelligence company, has unveiled an innovative technology that allows gamers to modify their voices in real time. The company has created 20 “AI humans,” digital personas that enable users to speak in voices other than their own. These voices are trained on professional human voice actors’ voices, ensuring a realistic and diverse range of options.
In a demonstration with CNBC, Voicemod’s CEO, Jaime Bosch, showcased the technology by speaking in various voices, from a high-pitched female speaker to a baritone male voice. Gamers can easily incorporate Voicemod’s technology into their Apple Mac or Windows PC through an app. By using the app as a “virtual microphone,” they can seamlessly speak through the alternative personas.
Voicemod has a team of talented individuals from leading technical universities in Valencia and Barcelona, specializing in music technology and audio. With over 40 million users, Voicemod’s technology is widely used in the social app Discord, allowing users to communicate with each other in different voices while gaming.
Beyond entertainment, the impact of this technology extends to shy individuals who have found a newfound ability to socialize and connect with others. Voicemod recognizes the potential risks associated with voice-changing technology, such as impersonating political figures or scamming others. To address these concerns, the company is developing a “watermarking” solution to identify voices generated through modification systems. They are also engaging in discussions with other firms to establish standardization and ensure the safe release of voice-changing tech.
Voicemod has secured $23 million in cash from venture capitalists like Leadwind and Bitkraft Ventures to support their research and development efforts. Despite the challenges, the company remains committed to responsible innovation and anticipates the implementation of clear laws in the future.
