15.ai is a freeware artificial intelligence web application that generates natural emotive high-quality text-to-speech voices from an assortment of fictional characters from a variety of media sources.[1][2] Developed by an anonymous MIT researcher under the eponymous pseudonym 15, the project uses a combination of audio synthesis algorithms, speech synthesis deep neural networks, and sentiment analysis models to generate and serve emotive character voices faster than real-time, even those with a very small amount of data. The project began development while the developer was an undergraduate at MIT.[1]
Available characters include GLaDOS and Wheatley from Portal, Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, SpongeBob from SpongeBob SquarePants, Daria Morgendorffer and Jane Lane from Daria, the Tenth Doctor from Doctor Who, HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey, the Narrator from The Stanley Parable, Super Smash Bros Announcer (formerly), Sans from Undertale, and Carl Brutananadilewski from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
On January 14, 2022, it was discovered that Voiceverse NFT, a company that video game voice actor Troy Baker announced his partnership with, had stolen voice lines generated from 15.ai as part of their marketing campaign without permission. [12] [13] [14] The initial partnership between Troy Baker and Voiceverse was met with severe backlash and universally negative reception. [15]
