Updated on 09/10/2025
The boom in the development and popularity of video generators - which you can read about in our article - has also spurred progress in sound-related services.
Sound matters, psychologists say.
This was confirmed by the release of Veo3, Google’s video generator with sound generation capabilities, which stunned AI enthusiasts in mid-2025 with its realism.
At the same time, Google has launched the audio service Live API, which provides voice and video interaction with LLM Gemini in real time with minimal latency. The gemini-2.5-flash-native-audio model family has its own sound. It is also possible to implement semi-cascaded audio interaction (input audio signal and text-to-speech output), which ensures high performance and reliability in production environments, especially when using tools. Cascaded architecture models as of September 2025: gemini-live-2.5-flash-preview and gemini-2.0-flash-live-001.
The Chinese leader in generative neural networks, Tencent, is developing the multimodal diffusion neural network HunyuanVideo-Foley for dubbing generated videos, as the market demands videos with sound.
Still, audio realism is a work in progress. Major LLM providers are striving to make their models sensitive to tone and the subtleties of human intonation. Researchers face the challenge of not only replicating the human voice, but also breaking through international language barriers. Significant progress in voice generation and processing has been made by well-known platforms such as the conditionally free ELEVENLABS and GOOGLE AI STUDIO with its podcast generator NOTEBOOKLM, which allow users to create voiceovers for any type of content. If you haven’t yet tried their cutting-edge voice tuning technologies, now is the time to treat yourself.
ElevenLabs has an excellent book reader ELEVENREADER in many languages. The resource cooperates with the payment platform STRIPE in a program for selling authors' books. You can register on Stripe, upload your work to the Elevenreader service, and earn income from selling your own books voiced by the service.
Voices and sounds can also be generated in video content platforms like FREEPIK, FLEXCLIP, MINIMAX, and others. Many video generators offer this feature as a free bonus, enabling you to voice your videos based on context.
The role of sound in content depends on the creator’s needs. That’s why voice services can be roughly divided into two main categories: 1. Voice generation and processing; 2. Transcription (speech-to-text) with further text processing.
This article presents a list of 10+ top available voice generators and neural network-based transcription services (from the English "transcribe" - to decode) that you can use for their useful features.
