Key point
ElevenLabs runs the 'Impact Voice Lab', which restores AI voices by refining voice data for people who have lost their voice due to illness.
Details
There are people who lose their ability to speak due to conditions such as ALS, MSA, or oral cancer. They can recreate their own voice using remaining recordings such as past voice messages or videos, but most files are too noisy or distorted to be used directly for AI modeling.
Impact Voice Lab is a project that enables voice restoration by refining these recordings with the help of volunteers. Volunteers perform noise removal and sound quality improvement work to prepare the data into a state suitable for voice modeling.
Users who have lost their voice can create their own Professional Voice Clone using materials they already have, without new recordings. This is produced as a customized text-to-speech model that only the user themselves can use.
This project is part of the ElevenLabs Impact Program, and since its launch in August 2024, it has partnered with more than 150 nonprofit organizations worldwide. Through this, ElevenLabs aims to help 1 million people regain their voice.
