Our lifestyle magazine on mental health, self-development and self-care now has its own podcast. It features the best Moje psychologie articles in audio form, read in the authentic voices of their authors. All of this is automated, thanks to voice cloning technology powered by AI.
The same content, a new audience
You no longer have to just read the articles from Moje psychologie, you can now listen to them too. We have launched a podcast of the same name, which presents read versions of the magazine’s best texts. Moje psychologie is thus expanding its communication channels. Alongside the print and online versions it now has an audio format as well. The podcast makes the content accessible not only to fans who prefer listening, but also to people with visual impairments.
Voiced by the author, with the help of AI
Creating a quality podcast usually means hours of preparation, recording in a studio and demanding post-production. But we were looking for a more efficient way that would use existing content and would not place additional time demands on our editors.
The solution is AI. Using voice cloning technology in the ElevenLabs tool, we created digital copies of our editors’ voices. ElevenLabs is among the leaders in speech synthesis, and we have extensive experience with it. For example, we use it for the audio track of the AI news on Frekvence 1.
This allows audio versions of articles to be created quickly and in excellent quality. Each text is read in the voice of its author, who does not have to spend time recording. The result is an authentic listening experience that preserves the personality, diction and style of individual editors.
To make the result as natural as possible, the editors first recorded their voice in a professional audio booth. This ensured clean sound that faithfully matches their delivery. At the same time we can refine the digital voice, for example by removing small speech imperfections, so that the resulting audio sounds smoother and more professional.
Fast, efficient and automatic
Each podcast episode is created directly from Moje psychologie articles. The AI model adapts the text for smooth reading, and ElevenLabs then converts it into audio. The finished episode is published automatically to all podcast apps, thanks to the work of Ondřej Musil’s team.
This process saves both time and costs. What used to mean hours in the studio and high expenses on voice recording and post-production can today be done within a few minutes. Thanks to AI we can bring our readers great content in a new form. Simply, quickly and without unnecessary extra work.
