    This project doesn’t recreate or simulate voices at all.

    It takes a still photograph and created a lip synched video of that person saying the paired full audio clip.

    There’s other projects that simulate voices.

      Yep it’s part of it to generate the sound track

      One of the videos show the voice changing in mid sentence

        No, it isn’t. In that clip they are taking two different sound clips as they are switching faces. It’s not changing the ‘voice’ of saying some phrase on the fly. It’s two separate pre-recorded clips.

        Literally from the article:

        It does not clone or simulate voices (like other Microsoft research) but relies on an existing audio input that could be specially recorded or spoken for a particular purpose.
