Free AI dubbing tool which is good, 5 real reviews recommend + use teaching

Which is the best free AI voiceover? After three months of tossing and turning, these 5 really hit the mark

Seriously, when I first came into contact with AI dubbing, I was pitied quite a few times. Either the sound is so plastic that it is like a poor quality toy, or the free amount is so stingy that it is gone after two uses, or the interface is anti-human. Later on, I did more video content, and I tested all the free tools on the market, some of which were really surprising, and some of which were... Forget it. Today, I will talk about the actual use of the 5 reliable, advantages and disadvantages, suitable for who, how to get started to give you a stroke of understanding.

1. ScreenCut Pro - the son of an editing software is the best!

Don't just know that Cutscreen can cut videos! It has a built-in AI voiceover that is hidden but very useful. Open the text track, right click on "read text", dozens of voices to choose from, from the serious news accent to the funny anchor with a bit of dialect flavor. I often use it for product demo videos, and the "professional female voice" is so natural that the client doesn't even realize it's an AI.Completely free, export without watermarkIt's a great choice for a speech, and the editing is seamless, so you can change the text and update the audio in a second. Disadvantages, not much emotional ups and downs, suitable for plain narration, passionate speeches almost interesting.

2. Microsoft Azure Text-to-Speech (free credit) - Tech Stream Ceiling

If you're looking for natural pauses and breathiness close to real life, this underlying Microsoft engine is the hidden big brother. Sign up for an Azure account and get free character credits every month (enough to make a few long videos). The sound library is so rich that it's sick, and even has subtle labels like "sad young male voice" and "middle-aged female voice with a smile". I tried to use its "Xiao Xiao (Chinese)" voice for an emotional narration, and the client actually asked if it had hired a professional voiceover artist... Slightly higher technical threshold, to tune your own SSML voice markup language control pauses, accents, suitable for advanced parties who love to toss and turn.

3. TTSMaker - a first-aid tool, right out of the box!

Catching up on work at 3am and needing a voiceover to turn in a movie tomorrow, it's an absolute life saver. No need to register! Open the webpage, paste the text directly, select the Chinese voice (we recommend "Yun Yang"), and click Generate to download the MP3 in seconds. Although the sound quality is not as delicate as Microsoft, it is more natural than many paid ones.unimpeded use. Temporary corporate training video with a commentary, or self-media oral emergency, I always have it in the drawer. Note that the free version of the generated file with a weak watermark sound, enough for daily use, commercial use discretion.

4. AliCloud Intelligent Voice Interaction (free package) - e-commerce live party look over

Attention brothers and sisters who do bandwagon videos! Hidden in this Ali toolSuperb bandwidth-specific tonesThe "enthusiastic promotional female voice", "affordable uncle recommended sound", read the price figures particularly smooth, background music are automatically added to you good. New users to send a packet of free time, batch generate product explanation thief fast. The disadvantage is that non-technical staff configuration API may be confused, but a bunch of online tutorials, nibble down to find the true flavor. My team is now batch processing hundreds of product explanations all with it.

5. Baidu Speech Synthesis (Open Edition) - The Old Guard is Steady as She Goes

If you need a stable and error-free basic voiceover, Baidu, an open platform veteran, can still play. The free credits are adequate, and the voice selection is moderate butPronunciation accuracy is extremely highIt's not easy to use it for serious content like government reports and educational texts. Dubbing serious content like government reports and educational courseware, it is not easy to step on thunder. The webpage is easy to operate, and you can also adjust the speed of speech. However, the voice emotion is more "AI", if you want to make a humane flavor, you have to add background music with editing.

How do you play with these tools? My Wild Experience

Don't expect AI to give you perfect work straight away! I used to get a quick draft from TTSMaker or a screen cut and listen to the effect and change the text. I found that where the machine pronounced the words awkwardly, 80% of the audience also sounded awkward. Key sentences with Microsoft or Aliyun fine-tuning pause, for example, in the "limited time offer" before adding a half-second pause, the sense of compression will come.Volume equalization is a big pitfallThe volume of the files generated by different tools can be twice as loud! The volume of files generated by different tools can be ten times different, use Audacity (free) to unify the volume before stuffing it into the editing software, otherwise the audience's ears suffer.

Bloody Summary: Right on Demand

Finally the big truth: top-notch dubs that are completely free don't exist, but the above are enough for the average person to make an 80. The key is to try more! You may be surprised if you use different tones for different texts. I've seen cases where a funny tone was used to read a serious notice and it exploded...
