Frequently asked questions

How much audio sample do I need to clone a voice?

Most modern platforms require 30 seconds to 2 minutes of clear, high-quality audio. ElevenLabs achieves good results with just 30 seconds, whilst custom enterprise setups via Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud may request 5-10 minutes for superior accuracy. Longer samples and varied intonation improve cloning quality.

Can I use voice cloning commercially, or are there legal concerns?

You can commercially clone your own voice without legal issues. Cloning someone else's voice without consent may violate right-of-publicity and voice likeness laws depending on your jurisdiction. Always secure written consent before cloning public figures' or individuals' voices.

Which platform is cheapest for high-volume voice synthesis?

Amazon Polly and Google Cloud Text-to-Speech offer the lowest per-character costs at scale (from £0.000005 to £0.00008 per character). For occasional use, ElevenLabs' free tier or Voice.ai's free tier provide excellent value. Enterprise volume discounts further reduce costs with all major providers.
