About AI speech technology

From text to voice and back

Speech is increasingly common in webshop content and customer contact. A product video needs a voice-over, a meeting needs minutes. Speech technology turns text into a natural voice, or turns spoken words into text. That means you don't have to record or type things out yourself. There are also platforms for building your own voice assistant.

Types of speech tools

  • Text-to-speech for voice-overs, such as ElevenLabs, Murf AI and Speechelo.
  • Speech-to-text via an API, such as Deepgram and AssemblyAI.
  • Note-takers that transcribe and summarize meetings, such as Otter.ai.
  • Build voice agents for customer contact with Voiceflow.
  • Videos with voice and music from a short brief, with Synthesys.

Listen to the Dutch

Listen to samples in your own language. A voice that sounds good in English can sound odd in Dutch. Check whether you can adjust the pronunciation of brand and product names. For transcription, what matters most is how the tool handles accents and background noise. Also test sentences with numbers, measurements and prices, as that's often where the stress goes wrong.

Voice cloning

Some tools can imitate a voice. Only use this with your own voice or with written permission. Don't keep recordings of customer calls longer than necessary. Tell customers in advance if a call is recorded or processed by AI. Choose a provider that clearly states how recordings are stored.

Which tool for which task?

Webshops that make videos, podcasts or training get the most out of text-to-speech. If you want to build speech into your own customer service or app, you'll need a developer and an API. Business owners with lots of meetings save time with an AI note-taker. Start with one use case, such as voice-overs for your product videos.
