Recently, the highly popular AI character creation tool Hedra announced an exciting new feature – voice cloning!
Now, users can record a short snippet of their own voice and clone, store, and apply it to any character they create or upload on the platform. However, this new tool is only available to paid users, with the minimum subscription fee being $10 per month.
Hedra's user-friendly operation is one of its major highlights. Compared to Runway and Kling, Hedra excels in lip-syncing, producing highly accurate mouth movements.
To experience Hedra's features, you first need to register and log in, then navigate to the creation page. Here, you will see three main panels. The first panel is for handling text and voice audio, the second is for managing character images, and the last panel is for outputting the synthesized results.
The first step in voice cloning is to click the "New Voice" button and record your own voice. With just three lines of text, the platform can create a highly accurate voice clone for you. Of course, you can also choose to upload or record an audio script in real-time, or use the platform's built-in voices.
Once the audio processing is complete, you can upload or create a character image. A small tip here is to experiment with the image generator as it produces excellent results. Hedra uses the StableDiffusion base model, and if you want more realistic characters, you can upgrade to the premium plan and choose the Flux Realism setting. The generated results are stunning, almost indistinguishable from real faces, although the video clarity is slightly lacking, the lip and facial movements are outstanding.
However, it is recommended not to try using animal characters as the lip-syncing effect is subpar.
The basic premium plan allows for the generation of 20 minutes of video per month, with individual videos up to 1 minute long, and includes watermark-free voice cloning. This price is reasonable, although it would be perfect if the company could offer a short voice cloning feature in a free watermarked plan.
