ElevenLabs. Zastosowanie w biznesie i twórczości
Witold Wrotek
To do mnie przemawia Wśród rozmaitych zastosowań sztucznej inteligencji znajdują się możliwości klonowania i generowania głosu. Obecnie na rynku dostępnych jest kilka narzędzi służących do tych celów ― jedno z nich to wciąż zyskująca na popularności platforma ElevenLabs. Stworzył ją zespół pod przewodnictwem dwóch polskich inżynierów: Piotra Dąbkowskiego, który wcześniej pracował dla Google, i Mateusza Staniszewskiego, byłego stratega wdrażania w Palantir Technologies. Inspiracją do powstania ich firmy ElevenLabs była chęć kreowania bardziej realistycznych dubbingów filmowych. Jeśli chcesz się nauczyć klonować głosy w taki sposób, by były nieodróżnialne od prawdziwych — odpowiednio modulowane, o oczekiwanej barwie i intonacji, przekazujące emocje — ta książka jest dla Ciebie. Obsługa narzędzi do generowania głosów AI nie jest trudna, a dzięki temu poradnikowi opanujesz ją błyskawicznie. Z książki dowiesz się między innymi: Dlaczego spośród dostępnych syntezatorów mowy warto wybrać ElevenLabs Jak szybko stworzyć swój pierwszy głosowy komentarz W jaki sposób promptować, by uzyskać naturalnie brzmiące rezultaty Co o klonowaniu i generowaniu głosów mówi prawo Jak przygotowywać nagrania wysokiej jakości ― w tym na potrzeby radia i w różnych językach Jak generować dialogi, podcasty i audiobooki W jaki sposób można zarabiać dzięki syntezie głosu opartej na AI

This book is intended for users with some knowledge of the Elixir language syntax and basic data types/structures. Although this is a cookbook and no sequential reading is required, the book’s structure will allow less advanced users who follow it to be gradually exposed to some of Elixir’s features and concepts specific to functional programming. To get the most out of this book, you need to be well versed with Erlang.
