FakeYou (formerly known as Vocodeo) is a non-commercial artificial intelligence web application that generates natural emotive deepfake voices from an assortment of fictional characters from a variety of media sources.
Users can create "characters", craft their "personalities", set specific parameters, and then publish them to the community for others to chat with. Many characters may be based on fictional media sources or celebrities, while others are completely original, some being made with certain goals in mind such as assisting with creative writing or being a text-based adventure game.
In May 2023, FakeYou took things to the next level. The service added a monthly subscription option, giving users access to even more voices and features. And to make it more accessible, a mobile app was released for both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
The platform uses cutting-edge artificial intelligence and deep learning algorithms to analyze and mimic the speech patterns of the chosen characters, creating a unique and realistic voice that can be used for various purposes. This technology has been used in the past for various applications such as voice assistance, but FakeYou is one of the first to apply it to creating deepfake voices for entertainment purposes.
The platform has gained popularity among users due to its ease of use and the ability to customize and personalize the voices to fit specific needs. Users can adjust the tone, pitch, and speed of the voice, as well as add emotive qualities such as happiness, anger, sadness, and more. This allows for a wide range of possibilities, from creating a friendly and helpful voice for a virtual assistant to a menacing and intimidating voice for a video game villain.
FakeYou has also gained attention for its unique feature of creating voices for fictional characters. Users can bring their favorite characters from books, movies, TV shows, and games to life by creating their own version of their voice. This has opened up a new world of possibilities for fan fiction writers and role-playing gamers, as they can now interact with their favorite characters in a more immersive way.
The platform also has a strong community aspect, with users being able to share their created characters with others and interact with characters created by other users. This has created a community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for creating and interacting with deepfake voices.
However, FakeYou has also faced criticism and controversy for the potential misuse of its technology. The platform has implemented strict guidelines and measures to prevent the creation of harmful or offensive content, but there is always a risk of the technology being used for malicious purposes.
Overall, FakeYou has revolutionized the way we think about and use deepfake technology, opening up a whole new world of possibilities for entertainment and creativity. As the technology continues to advance, it will be interesting to see how FakeYou and similar platforms evolve and shape the future of deepfake voices.
