If you are looking for the best free alternative to the text-to-speech AI voices of ElevenLabs, then this article will give you five reasons why you should check out the Clipchamp video editor.
5. Multiple Supported Languages
One of the best features of using the Clipchamp editor for text-to-speech is that it supports a wide array of languages. In addition to English, this program is also capable of outputting in Arabic, Chinese, France, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish and many more.
Not to mention that there are multiple variants of the same language options available. Using the English language as an example, you will be able to pick between American, British, South African and Tanzania.
4. Multiple Voices/Accents
Another strength of Clipchamp is the number of voices and accents it offers.
As of the making of this video, there are over 20 multilingual voices that are capable of speaking multiple languages. There are also over 30 English-only voices to choose from.
With that many options, you should be able to find several that fit what you are looking for.
3. Changing Pace
When it comes to text-to-speech, some A.I. voices can sometimes talk too fast, while they talk too slow in other instances. Thankfully, Clipchamp lets you control the cadence of the speech by using the Pace slider.
You will be able to slow down the voice by as much as half the normal speed. You will also be able to speed up the speech by as much as two times the normal speed.
2. Adding Emotion
Another neat feature of Clipchamp is the ability to add emotion. While not all voices have this feature, the ones that do can really give the speech output some extra nuance, especially if you are using text-to-speech to tell a story or state an opinion.
For instance, with the Tony voice, you will be able to make it so that the A.I. sound Angry, Cheerful, Excited, Friendly, Helpful, Sad, Shout, Terrified, Unfriendly or Whisper.
1. Unlimited Regeneration
The best part about Clipchamp is that it is completely free to use with no strings attached. With most other free text-to-speech AI, as well as paid ones like Elevenlabs, there is usually a limit or quota when it comes to voice generation.
With Clipchamp, there aren’t any limits. You can generate as much A.I. voice as you need. There is a maximum duration of 10 minutes per generation. However, you can easily circumvent this by splitting your scripts into parts and then combining them in the timeline.
