The first diverse artificial voices bank
Despite advances, LGBTIQ+ individuals still face discrimination, with their voices often triggering biases and microaggressions, leading many to hide their authentic selves. One way to reduce these biases is to increase our exposure to diverse voices. In a world where AI-generated voices are becoming increasingly prevalent, it’s crucial that these also reflect the vocal diversity of our society.
“Free The Voices” is the first bank of synthetic voices created from the contributions of more than 250 voices of the LGBTQI+ community across 12 countries.
/Add your voice/
Join and contribute to create a 5th diverse synthetic voice that will be released soon. By providing your voice you become part of a resource that promotes inclusion and stands against biases.

If there’s one thing lacking in our time, it’s empathy. We often hear about technological progress. At the same time, we see humanity moving backward. We can still decide whether to use it to unite or further divide us. Unfortunately, every day, LGBTQ+ individuals and all of us who are “different” continue to be:
persecuted…
stigmatized…
silenced…
Just because we don’t conform, nor does
OUR VOICE
The persecution may not always be visible, but it is constant and painful. It’s a daily struggle against prejudices and stereotypes manifested through microaggressions and acts of exclusion. That’s why today, we want the world to hear us. Because if there’s one more thing lacking in our time, it’s diversity. Diversity not only of appearance but in all forms of human expression. Enough of virtual assistants, artificial intelligence and any technology with voices that don’t represent us.
Our call is clear: let’s free our voices!
Not everyone sounds the same, nor do we want to.
From natural to synthetic, all voices must be diverse. Each voice has its own story, its own identity. It’s time for all to be heard and valued equally.
In a world where we’re increasingly exposed to AI-generated voices, the only
way to fight against biases is through diverse human voices.
Listen to our synthetic voices, add your own to create new ones, and above
all, use them to nurture a more diverse world.
