This technology focuses on recreating the auditory characteristics of the 16th U.S. President using artificial intelligence. The generated audio aims to emulate his speaking patterns, tone, and potential vocal nuances based on historical records and available speech samples. An example would be using this synthesized voice to narrate historical documents or educational content related to the Civil War era.
The recreation of historical figures’ voices presents opportunities for enhanced engagement with historical materials. It can provide a more immersive and personal experience for learners and researchers. Furthermore, this capability could contribute to the preservation and accessibility of historical narratives, making them more compelling and easier to understand for a wider audience. The concept builds upon established methods of audio synthesis, now applied to a uniquely historical subject.
