New technology allows you to imitate anyone's voice from one minute of recording

What if someone took advantage of new technology to counter President Trump's attack?

Do not know how you would think about Lyrebird's new service in Montreal. The company says that their APIs will allow you to synthesize speech from anyone's voice with just one minute of recording - meaning you can compile a video with Tom's voice. Cruise, for a moment.

Lyrebird has increased the load of some fairly convincing sounds (you can find out more from this page). The company says that the technology does not require the speaker to say the words that you will use in the recording you want to create, even if you can create different intonations when he or she speaks.

Last November, Adobe also released a demo for similar technology. Adobe's VoCo project requires 20 minutes of audio and uses the system resources to synthesize voice. Meanwhile, Lyrebird only needs one minute recording and their API will process the sound in the cloud before producing the final result.

Last year, when the VoCo project debuted, many worried that the bad guys would use this technology to spread misleading information that people thought was the original.

On the Ethics website of the company, Lyrebird says that the technology is publicly available to everyone and that they will not be exposed to such risks. The company hopes people will soon realize the existence of this technology and copy the voices of others as possible.

However, the risk of fraud and false information due to imitation of voice still exists. We are not just talking about copying the voice of world leaders, anyone can be deceived by thinking they are talking or listening to the voice of family members.
