Murf AI: A Great Tool for the World of Audio
Murf AI is a new tool has arrived to revolutionize the world of audio. This new Text to Speech (TTS) artificial intelligence comes with over 120 natural voices to choose from, with studio quality and coverage in over 20 languages. Let’s get started!
What is Murf AI?
It is an AI tool capable of converting text to speech, with professional and realistic studio quality in a few minutes. As they have said on their blog, we can write or upload Word files with the information we want to transform into voice, we choose from the more than 120 voices they have in their library and murf ai takes care of the rest (at the moment, they do not support PDF). In addition, to make the voices more natural, it allows you to change the pitch, speed, emphasis and add pauses.
In a few moments I will show you some examples. Something that seemed like a good point in its favor is that it allows you to upload images, music or video and you can automatically synchronize your voice with these elements (what is known as Voice Over).
Personally, I think this feature is great. Since once, I had to manually sync voice with a video and it took me around 4 to 5 hours to get it right. Murf would have suited me “like a glove” at that moment.
Continuing with Murf AI, it has a function called “Voice Changer”, which allows you to make a home recording a voice-over so that these imperfect recordings are transformed into professional voiceovers.
How much would it cost to buy a professional microphone or condition a room with acoustic insulation to achieve a professional voiceover?
A lot of money. But now, with these types of tools powered by artificial intelligence, there are more and more options for all budgets. It’s something that AI and creative people are achieving and that’s why it’s great to talk about.
How to use Murf?
To use it, we must first register on its official page. Then we can test it. It offers a free plan with limitations, of course, in which we can only create 10 minutes of audio per month, 10 minutes of transcription and the biggest restriction of the free plan is that you cannot download the audios. To download it, you need to opt for a payment plan. The cheapest ” basic ” is $19, followed by the “pro” plan $26.
Once registered, we go to where it says “Studio” and there we can create a new project, either for audio or video.
When previewing the text to speech that we have made, we can also add background music. There is a music library to choose from that we like and that matches our project.
Something important: The best voices, I mean the ones that sound natural and professional, are only available to users of the pro plan ($26). The voices available in the free plan do not sound very natural.

Let’s look at some examples
This is an example video that they have on their website, and I’m bringing it here so you can see how natural the voices sound.
The voice is great and sounds very natural. It is an ideal tool for marketing, podcasts, among others. If you really want to take advantage of it, you need the pro plan that lets you access these voices and more audio time and transcriptions. They have more examples on their website, in case you want to listen to other voices and see how they sound.
Summary
Murf AI is a tool with very good features. It offers good voices and the possibility of playing with its tone, speed and, what I think is most important to make it natural, its emphasis. The possibility of adding music and video also seems like a good contribution to me, it makes what we develop more entertaining and visual. And I forgot to say, it can be used for commercial purposes, if you are a paying user.
