Speechify also offers voices of famous personalities, making voice over more intriguing. Lovo stands out from the rest due to offering the service in more than 100 languages, better than Speechify, offering the service only in 15 languages, and ElevenLabs.
The same is the case with Fliki and Murf, offering the service in more than 75 languages and 15 languages respectively, although both offer text-to-video conversion.
WellSaid Labs has only 50 voices to offer, making it less attractive than the ones mentioned above. Deepbrain A.I. has one advantage: it can convert a text into more than 80 languages. But both do not offer a simple trial to visitors, as offered by others.
Play.ht has a huge voice database, offering more than 570 different voices. Contrary to it, Resemble offers only over 40 A.I. voices, far behind most of the tools.
The last one, Synthesys, has only over 60 A.I. voices. However, it boasts a nifty user-friendly interface, along with trial/testing of voices before you sign up.
