10 online voice-over tools in 2023

Although online voice-over technology has progressed with lightning speed in the past few years, you won’t get quite the same level of quality as you do with a real human voice. However, the results are still impressive. Whether an AI voice-over is suitable depends on the scope of your project and your expectations. We’d recommend you try out a few services to see if you get the results you need.

In this blog post, we’ll highlight the top 10 AI online voice-over generator services that don’t require you to download additional software. Each platform offers unique features, so you can choose one that best fits your project requirements.

Let’s take a look:

Final thoughts

Online voice-over services are improving in quality all the time. Some offer a free subscription level and those that charge usually have a free trial version. It’s worth trying them out to see if they’re suitable for your project. However, although AI is good, it’s not as good as a real human voice actor... yet. To get the best results for a commercial project, a voice-over service offering real voice actors is probably going to be more suitable.

At Semantix, we offer a full voice-over service, and we have male and female voice actors who are native speakers of more than 200 languages.
