Practical Overview of FakeYou
FakeYou is a cloud-based service that uses Deep Fake technology to create audio or video based on a tool-generated voice.
FakeYou’s Main Features
☑ Text-to-speech (speechTts)
FakeYou generates input text into voice format. The claimed database of votes is over 3500. The list of voices includes Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Elon Musk, Queen Elizabeth II, Tom Cruise, Darth Vader, Mario and others. It is possible to clone any voice if you have at least 30 minutes of clean and clear audio recording of the person speaking.
The practical experience of FakeYou text:
1. Registration
Not necessary at the initial stage, you will only need it if you download the result.
2. Voice selection
There are filters by language (English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Arabic, Portuguese and Turkish) and categories (cartoon, real people, etc.). When selecting a voice, the model’s rating for sound quality is displayed.
3. Text input
Restricted for free use — audio is limited to 12 seconds or less.
4. Generation into voice format
Occurs one by one. In practice takes 5-10 seconds.
5. Result
The resulting file can be saved in your personal cabinet. FakeYou offers to share it in social networks:
On social media, it’s not the audio track that goes, but a link to fakeyou.com, where the recording is stored. On Facebook, it will look like this on the page or in the history:
After downloading, the audio track is saved in WAV format (a container file format for storing a recording of a digitized audio stream, a subspecies of RIFF) and can be overlaid on the video.

☑ Face Animator
When you upload a static image (JPG, GIF, PNG formats) and an audio track (MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG formats), a lip-synchronized video is converted.
Practical experience:
