What is FakeYou and reviews of the platform

Text to speech services and websites like FakeYou have grown in popularity in recent years. That is due to their usefulness in many aspects of social media, podcasting, YouTube, and so on. TTS tools are also easy to use, and they do the job quickly, allowing you to turn any piece of text into an audio file without much hassle. Now, it’s important to mention that there are many different options to choose from when it comes to TTS tools. In fact, there are so numerous that it may seem difficult to choose only one. So, how do you know if FakeYou is legit? Well, the logical first step is to turn to online reviews. You can just look up the service of your choice through Google (or other search engines) and take a look at the reviews. Comparing the number of negative reviews and positive reviews is also another logical step. Let’s take a look at what is FakeYou and reviews from real users online to see if this is the right TTS and voice generation platform for you.

About FakeYou

FakeYou is a TTS website that allows you to turn text into speech while using a variety of different voices. These AI voices include celebrities, cartoon and movie characters, announcers, musicians, and so on. FakeYou also allows you to clone your own voice. Essentially, they are deep fake versions of different voices.

Available languages

While FakeYou does have different language options, they’re still pretty sparse. Available languages include English, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese, and French. While these are some of the more popular languages in the world, there are still many more languages out there that FakeYou doesn’t support. This means it will be harder to use text to speech and voice generation for international users.

Voice options

FakeYou has many interesting voices you can choose from. In fact, there are over 2,000 different voice options currently available, which allows for a lot of variety for content creators of all kinds.

FAQ

What are fake reviews?

Essentially, fake reviews are deceptive online reviews that intend to mislead customers and affect their purchase decisions. Honest businesses will encourage customers to leave honest reviews without the need for incentives.

Where do fake reviews come from?

There are e-commerce retailers who review sites and sell fake customer reviews. Usually, service or business owners buy positive reviews in order to attract more buyers. Likewise, negative fake online reviews are also popular purchases and are usually bought with the intention of taking away business from competitors.

How do fake Google reviews work?

But, how do these fake reviews work? As we’ve mentioned fabricated reviews are a popular form of endorsement. A company or business can do this by posting a positive review of their product or service or posting a negative one on their competitor’s website.

How can you tell fake reviews from real ones?

Telling apart fake reviews on Google or Amazon from real reviews may seem impossible at first, but it isn’t. Here are some red flags that are tell-tale signs of fake online reviews. Firstly, no website or product with genuine reviews will have only 5-star reviews. Even websites with many high ratings will have a certain number of reviews with 4-star or 3-star ratings sprinkled in. Secondly, false reviews often lack in detail and are generally pretty vague. They also usually have vague or generic titles and are all worded rather similarly. The grammar is often poor and the product reviews are filled with spelling mistakes. Fake reviews also have a pattern of multiple ratings being made on oddly specific dates, often with gaps with no reviews being made at all. Fake reviewers also often talk about a free product or explain away allegations of scams and lack of refunds. Another way to check reviews is through Tripadvisor, Fakespot, and similar alternatives. Lastly, if you’re unsure whether a review is fake or real, you can take a closer look at the reviewer’s profile and decide whether it looks fishy or not. If you are sure that certain reviews are fake, you can file a report to the FTC (Federal Trade Commission). You can also report them to Amazon since Amazon is known for going after fake reviewers and those who buy fake reviews.
