Murf AI review

What Murf AI is

Murf AI is a voice AI platform used to create studio-quality voiceovers with 200+ AI voices. Murf says more than 10 million developers and creators use the platform. It’s organized into three products:

• Murf Studio — a web editor for writing scripts, choosing voices, adjusting pitch, speed and emphasis, and syncing narration with video or slides.
• Murf API — text-to-speech, voice changer and translation endpoints, including the low-latency Falcon model for conversational agents.
• Murf Dub — translation and dubbing of video and audio into 20+ languages.

Murf also offers Murf Agents, multilingual AI agents that handle inbound and outbound calls and chat and escalate to a human when needed.
