Naver "Mom and Dad's Voices, Made into 'AI Voice' for You"

'Please Leave Mom's Voice' Campaign
AI Voices Created for 100 Applicants

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Naver announced on the 25th that it will conduct the "Please Take Care of Mom's Voice" campaign, which creates AI voices of family members using voice synthesis technology for children who want to keep their parents' voices, parents who want to remember their children's voices, and people who want to record their youngest voice.

The "Please Take Care of Mom's Voice" campaign is open to anyone aged 14 or older who can participate through the website, and campaign information can be shared so that applicants can apply themselves or family members can apply.

Applicants choose which role (mom/dad/husband/wife/daughter/son) to record, then record 11 sample sentences through the Voice Maker in the Clova Dubbing app, and submit them along with their story.

The 11 sample sentences include phrases that remind one of the importance of family, such as "I heard you've been very busy lately, did you have dinner? (Mom)", "Dad is proud of how wonderfully you have grown (Dad)", "I've thought about it, and I think marrying you was the right choice (Husband/Wife)", and "I will make you both happier from now on (Daughter/Son)".

Based on the stories, Naver will select 100 applicants for a second recording, and around February next year, will release 100 types of AI voices on a separate content page and provide them through Clova Dubbing. Afterwards, users will be able to freely listen to desired sentences in their family's voices via Clova Dubbing.

The campaign application period runs until November 30. Naver developed the AI voice synthesis technology "NES" in 2019, which can create natural synthesized speech from short recordings, and based on this, launched the TTS (text-to-speech) service "Clova Dubbing" in early 2020. Clova Dubbing has been widely used for remote classes and video content production, recording approximately 1.2 million cumulative subscribers and about 34.5 million dubbing creations.

Jaemin Kim, Head of Naver Clova Voice & Avatar, said, "Through this campaign, we hope to warmly introduce Naver's excellent voice synthesis technology and include more users' voices in Clova Dubbing."
