Ethics
We're committed to ensuring that our groundbreaking technology is only used for ethical projects — and doesn't fall into the wrong hands.
Respeecher started with a simple idea: Can we clone human speech and swap voices?
If we could, it would surely be handy for filmmakers, TV producers, game developers, advertisers, podcasters, and content creators—all those whose creativity shouldn’t be limited by sound.
Like many of you, we were frustrated by the robotic voices in our video games, auto navigation systems, and emerging text-to-speech systems.
That’s why we built something better.
Today, we use proprietary deep learning techniques to produce high-quality synthetic speech.
“Our mission is simple: help content creators use voices in new and exciting ways. Whether they want to resurrect a voice from the past, more easily record kids' voices, or just want more creative control over their project, we're here to help. We’ve partnered with Hollywood studios and top video game creators — and we're just getting started.”
Key milestones on our journey to better AI-powered voices
Ethical questions about synthetic speech aren’t always easy, so we don’t just rely on our gut to tell us what is right.
These are the principles that guide our decision-making:
We will never use the voice of a private person or an actor without permission. However, we do allow the non-deceptive use of the voices of historical figures and politicians like Richard Nixon.
We used our artificial intelligence and machine learning expertise to replicate voices and produce synthetic recordings that perfectly matched the originals.
Our technology is now being utilized by top Hollywood movie studios, video game creators, and many other businesses. With Respeecher, they can create content they’ve never been able to make before, use fully licensed celebrity voices, and save time and money as they do. Learn more about Respeecher's AI Voice Lab.
We know that voice replication technology could be dangerous in the wrong hands, so we implemented a strict code of ethics and robust security measures to protect all voices - including those of professional voice actors and celebrities.
We vow to ensure that our tech is only used for positive purposes. To learn more about our commitment to ethical behavior, click here.
