Voice Wars: How ElevenLabs, Hume AI, and Descript Are Racing to Perfect AI-Generated Human Speech

Text-to-speech AI has evolved beyond robotic monotones into eerily human-like voices capable of laughter, whispers, and emotional nuance. We put three leading platforms—ElevenLabs, Hume AI, and Descript—through rigorous testing to uncover their strengths in realism, expressiveness, and practical utility. The results reveal a rapidly maturing landscape where synthetic voices are poised to transform content creation, accessibility, and even personal identity.
