The Morning After: Microsoft’s VALL-E AI can replicate a voice from a three-second sample.
It can even preserve the speaker’s ’emotion and acoustic environment.’
Microsoft’s latest research in text-to-speech AI centers on a new AI model, VALL-E.
While there are already multiple services that can create copies of your voice, they usually demand substantial input.
Microsoft claims its model can simulate someone’s voice from just a three-second audio sample.
The speech can match both the timbre and emotional tone of the speaker – even the acoustics of a room.
It could one day be used for customized or high-end text-to-speech applications, but like deepfakes, there are risks of misuse.

Researchers trained VALL-E on 60,000 hours of English language speech from 7,000-plus speakers in Meta’s Libri-Light audio library.
The results aren’t perfect: Some are tinny machine-like samples, while others are surprisingly realistic.
