Voice Engine was initially developed by OpenAI in late 2022, and has since been used to empower the preset voices featured in the text-to-speech API, alongside ChatGPT Voice and Read Aloud.
In an interview with TechCrunch, Jeff Harris– a member of the product staff at OpenAI– revealed that the Voice Engine model was trained on a mix of licensed and publicly available data.
It’s important to note that OpenAI is not releasing the Voice Engine model widely right now.
OpenAI stated that its partners have agreed to follow its usage policies. These policies prohibit impersonating others without consent or legal rights, require obtaining explicit and informed consent from the original speaker, not building ways for individual users to create their own voices, and mandate disclosing to listeners that the voices are generated by AI.
OpenAI has also implemented safety measures for Voice Engine, such as watermarking to track the origin of any generated audio and actively monitoring its usage.
