Voice Studio uses one of the best AI-based voice cloning engines to convert text articles into high-quality audio podcasts, ensuring the realism and naturalness needed for a clear and authentic listening experience. The solution has already been used for the publications "la Repubblica" and "La Stampa," producing over 300 audio pieces per day.
Discovery Reply has developed custom features tailored to GEDI's editorial context, such as correctly adapted pronunciation for foreign words, contextual expansion of acronyms, and modulation of tone, rhythm, and emphasis depending on the type of article (e.g., news, sports, culture). There are also tools available for the quality control of the generated audio, allowing editorial intervention for corrections that automatically apply to future productions, as well as the option to integrate background music into the final audio file.
Fabiano Begal, CEO of GEDI Digital, stated: "Voice Studio enables us to effectively meet the growing demand for high-quality audio content from the general public, something we have already observed with the success of OnePodcast. Thanks to this collaboration with Discovery Reply, we can now enrich our editorial offering by providing our readers with an additional useful and innovative tool."
