Spotify is going to clone podcasters’ voices — and translate them to other languages - eviltoast

A partnership with OpenAI will let podcasters replicate their voices to automatically create foreign-language versions of their shows.

    But that would be just translating the transcript. To make it comparable to what Spotify is planning is if it also contains hiring voice actors to essentially redo the entire podcast in a different language.

    No offense but depending on the podcast and the target audience this solution could cost per episode more than the entire production cost of the podcast per episode.

      Yeah, I could imagine that, if we’re just counting the baseline minimum of what that production would cost. I think for the most popular podcasts they could easily afford it, though. It would certainly cost much less than what they’re paying Joe Rogan.
