Respeecher is an AI voice cloning and speech-to-speech technology company that creates hyper-realistic synthetic voice replicas for professional film, television, gaming, and media production. Unlike text-to-speech systems, Respeecher uses speech-to-speech conversion, where a performer speaks and the AI transforms their voice into a target voice in real time, preserving the original performance's emotion, timing, intonation, and delivery while changing the voice identity to match the target speaker.
Respeecher's technology has been used in major Hollywood productions, including recreating the voice of young Luke Skywalker for the Lucasfilm series The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. The platform has also been employed in documentary filmmaking, video game development, advertising campaigns, and accessibility applications. The speech-to-speech approach is preferred in film and gaming because it allows voice actors to deliver a full performance that is then transformed, maintaining the nuance and artistry of human voice acting.
The platform offers both an online marketplace where users can access pre-built voice models and a custom voice cloning service for enterprise clients who need bespoke voice models created from archival recordings or new voice samples. Respeecher's ethical framework requires consent from voice owners or their estates before creating voice models, and the company has established protocols for verifying the legitimacy of voice cloning requests.
Respeecher provides its services through a web-based platform with API access for integration into production pipelines. The company serves major entertainment studios, game developers, advertising agencies, and media producers. Respeecher was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in Kyiv, Ukraine, with operations maintained internationally.
