Recently, Play AI has officially launched its most ambitious product — the PlayDialog beta version, capable of generating conversational podcast audio.
This end-to-end AI voice model, utilizing the historical context of conversations, can adjust tone, emotion, and speech rate to achieve more natural voice synthesis, marking a new height in human-computer dialogue. PlayDialog is particularly suitable for creating authentic conversational experiences, such as narration, voice dubbing, and synthesized podcasts, and can also provide immersive one-on-one voice interaction experiences in commercial environments, similar to Google's NotebookLM.
Meanwhile, Play AI has also introduced PlayNote, a tool that can convert various media files (such as PDFs, text, videos, etc.) into conversational experiences. Users can generate podcasts, briefings, narrations, and even children's stories within minutes, enjoying the smooth and natural voice effects brought by PlayDialog. The unique feature of PlayNote is that it also provides an API interface, allowing users to easily achieve programmatic generation of audio content without relying on the user interface.
PlayDialog beta has been trained on billions of real conversations, with a model size about ten times that of Play AI3.0mini, capable of matching human speech performance in terms of tone (such as intonation and speech rate). In blind tests, PlayDialog beta outperformed leading competitive models by twice, especially scoring the highest in expressiveness.
Unlike previous voice models, PlayDialog beta can understand the context of the entire conversation, thereby affecting the effect of voice generation. Play AI has built a new architecture called the "Adaptive Speech Contextualizer" (ASC), allowing the model to respond using the complete history of the conversation, making each sentence not an isolated output but a rich one with appropriate tone, emotion, and mood, making the synthesized podcast seem as if the listener feels the speaker is in the same space.
Whether it's a lively discussion or a sensitive topic that requires empathy, PlayDialog can seamlessly adapt, making interactions more natural and human. Users can experience this through PlayNote, using it to create powerful and natural narrations, podcasts, briefings, etc., all within minutes. PlayNote can also be used via an API interface, allowing developers to generate engaging content in a large-scale programmatic way.
