EVI 2 just introduced Voice Control, an experimental feature that replaces prompts and risky voice cloning with 10 continuous sliders like confidence, nasality, and smoothness. Traits are disentangled so tweaking one won't distort the others, letting creators sculpt reproducible custom voices in seconds.
Hume AI just rolled out Voice Control in beta for its Empathic Voice Interface 2 (EVI 2), bypassing clunky text prompts and risky voice cloning with 10 continuous perceptual sliders. Developers can tweak traits like confidence, nasality, and assertiveness in real time to generate unique, reproducible brand voices. Extreme parameter settings are still being fine-tuned.
Hume AI just launched a browser-based voice application combining its proprietary EVI 2 speech model with Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Haiku. Users can chat with various specialized AI personas through their microphone without creating an account. Early testing shows solid factual answers, though narrative modes still suffer from occasional repetition and voice shifts.
