How I Used Murf API
The Murf API is the driving force behind SpeakUp AI’s immersive communication experience — turning text into rich, expressive speech and enabling life-like interaction with AI trainers.
Here’s how SpeakUp AI leverages it:
Dynamic AI Voices: Each virtual coach (like Varun AI or Ananya AI) is assigned a distinct Murf voice ID, giving them a unique persona, accent, and tone — creating a personalized, realistic learning experience.
Smart Script Narration: User inputs, including mock speeches or answers, are synthesized using Murf to provide high-quality audio playback for self-assessment and clarity comparison.
Conversational Debates & Interviews: User responses are passed to a generative language model (like GPT), which formulates intelligent counter-questions or feedback. These are converted into speech via Murf TTS, simulating real-life scenarios like debates, interviews, and lectures.
Expressive Feedback Engine: Murf helps deliver ideal voice samples — fine-tuned in pace, pitch, and clarity — for users to emulate, accelerating learning through active mimicry.
With Murf API, SpeakUp AI transforms static training into a lifelike, humanized coaching experience — interactive, expressive, and unforgettable.
