What would this face sound like? Synthetic voices from a single photo
At IberSpeech 2026 we presented a method that generates a plausible voice from a photo. Here's how it works, what we measured and how far it goes.
Before you clone a voice, ask whose it is
A voice identifies a person and the law protects it. What Spanish and European rules say, which cases show it, and what a voice licensing agreement should include.
What exactly does a synthetic voice copy?
Timbre, intonation, pauses, pronunciation and accent: what a speech synthesis model learns from recordings, what it imitates well and where it still falls short.
How many minutes of audio does it take to clone a voice?
Cloning a voice can take three seconds of audio or several hours. We explain zero-shot cloning, professional cloning and voice conversion, and when to use each.
