TLDR
A researcher says their team cloned the voices of 86 non-native English speakers using ElevenLabs, Coqui-XTTS and ChatterBox for a NeurIPS 2026 paper. In 4,000 human ratings, the clones sounded warmer, more authoritative and more humanlike than the real speakers, the researcher says. Listeners also said they would trust the clones more.
