# AI Voice Clone > An AI voice clone copies a voice from a short sample and reads any new text in it. On Kenerate AI you upload or record a 3–15 second sample, type a script of up to 5,000 characters, and the Qwen3 instant clone speaks it in 10 languages, with no training. Only clone voices you own or have permission to use.

What matters is the story, and tonight I'm going to tell you how the old mill burned down. - Demo "Instant clone" (English, Qwen3 Voice Clone): script: The fire started in the grain room just after midnight. By the time the bells rang, the whole east wall was glowing orange. - Demo "Upbeat Woman" (English, MiniMax Speech 2.8 HD): script: Hi! I'm recording this in my kitchen, so excuse the echo. I just want to see if this actually sounds like me. - Demo "Instant clone" (English, Qwen3 Voice Clone): script: Okay, that's honestly a little spooky. It even does the thing where I speed up when I get excited. - Demo "Instant clone" (Spanish, Qwen3 Voice Clone): script: Y ahora en español: es la misma voz, pero hablando un idioma que nunca grabé. (And now in Spanish: it's the same voice, speaking a language I never recorded.) - Demo "Designed voice" (English, Qwen3 Voice Design): voice description: A warm, slightly husky woman in her forties with a gentle Southern American drawl, speaking slowly like a country radio host at dawn — script: Mornin', y'all. The coffee's on, the fields are quiet, and we've got three hours of the best old songs you ever heard. - Demo "Designed voice" (English, Qwen3 Voice Design): voice description: A low, husky female voice with a slight rasp, calm and confident, like a late-night jazz radio host — script: It's two a.m., the city's finally quiet, and this next record goes out to everyone still awake. ## Steps 1. Add a 3–15 second sample — Upload an audio file, record straight from your microphone, or pick a clip from your gallery. Use a voice you own or have permission to clone. 2. Type what the sample says (optional) — A matching transcript usually gives a closer clone. 3. Write the new script — Up to 5,000 characters, in any of 10 languages. 4. Generate and download — The clone reads your script; download the MP3. To reuse the voice, save it as a MiniMax clone. ## In depth ### How instant voice cloning works Zero-shot cloning models are trained on thousands of voices, so they learn what makes a voice recognisable — timbre, pitch range, accent and speaking rhythm. Given a few seconds of a new voice, the model extracts those characteristics and applies them to new text without any per-voice training [1]. Because the clone is conditioned on the sample, the sample's quality and style carry through: background noise, room echo and mood all come along. That's why a clean, representative 10-second clip matters more than any setting. ### Instant clone vs saved clone Two workflows, for two jobs: - Instant clone (Qwen3) — best for one-off lines or testing; no setup, 10 languages, up to 5,000 characters per clip. - Saved clone (MiniMax) — best for a voice you'll use every week; created once, then used with MiniMax emotions, speed, pitch and long scripts. ### Consent and deepfakes Voice cloning is the same technology behind audio deepfakes — synthetic speech used to impersonate someone [2]. Clone only voices you own or have written permission to use, tell your audience when narration is synthetic where your platform requires it, and never use a clone to mislead.

A: Yes — a free Kenerate account starts with free credits, enough to try instant voice cloning on your own sample. There's no watermark on the audio, and credits never expire. Q: How long does the voice sample need to be? A: 3 to 15 seconds. About 10 seconds of clean, continuous speech from one speaker gives the best results. Q: How long does cloning take? A: There's no training step. The Qwen3 instant clone is created when you generate, so you hear the result as soon as the clip is ready. Q: Can the cloned voice speak other languages? A: Yes. Instant clones can read English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Russian — even if the sample was in another language. Q: What's the difference between an instant clone and a saved clone? A: An instant clone (Qwen3) is made fresh from the sample for each clip. A saved clone (MiniMax) is created once, stored in your account, and then works with MiniMax Speech engines, including emotions, speed and pitch. Q: Can I clone a celebrity or someone else's voice? A: No. Only clone your own voice or a voice whose owner has given permission. Cloning someone without consent, or using a clone to impersonate or deceive, isn't allowed. Q: Can I record the sample in the browser? A: Yes. The studio can record from your microphone, or you can upload a file or pick audio from your gallery. Q: Can I use the cloned audio in videos? A: Yes, if you have the right to the voice. Kenerate's Terms give you ownership of what you generate. Q: How do I make an AI voice clone? A: Record or upload a 3–15 second sample of a voice you have permission to use, type the script, and generate: the Qwen3 instant clone reads it in that voice, with no training step. About 10 seconds of clean speech from one speaker works best. To reuse the voice with emotions, speed and pitch, save it once as a MiniMax clone. ## Related pages - Text to Speech: https://kenerateai.com/text-to-speech - AI Voice Generator: https://kenerateai.com/ai-voice-generator - Spanish Text to Speech: https://kenerateai.com/spanish-text-to-speech - Robot Voice Generator: https://kenerateai.com/robot-voice-generator ## Sources - Kenerate Voice Studio (engines, voices and limits from the app's code): https://kenerateai.com/app/voice - MiniMax Speech 2.8 HD on WaveSpeed: https://wavespeed.ai/models/minimax/speech-2.8-hd - ElevenLabs Eleven v3 on WaveSpeed: https://wavespeed.ai/models/elevenlabs/eleven-v3 - ElevenLabs — text to speech documentation: https://elevenlabs.io/docs/overview/capabilities/text-to-speech - Qwen3 TTS Voice Clone on WaveSpeed: https://wavespeed.ai/models/wavespeed-ai/qwen3-tts/voice-clone - Qwen3 TTS Voice Design on WaveSpeed: https://wavespeed.ai/models/wavespeed-ai/qwen3-tts/voice-design
