What they are

Murf

Murf converts text into studio-quality voiceovers using a library of AI voices across multiple languages and accents. Creators, instructional designers, and marketers use it to produce narration for videos, courses, and presentations without recording equipment. Voice quality is noticeably better than older text-to-speech tools, though expressive emotional range still falls short of a skilled human narrator.

Descript

Descript treats audio and video like a text document. Edit by deleting words, splice clips with copy and paste, and use AI features to remove filler words, clone voices, and clean up backgrounds. Popular with podcasters and YouTubers.
