Overview

Murf builds an AI-powered text-to-speech SaaS platform (Murf.ai) that lets users generate natural-sounding voiceovers, sync them with images/videos, and customize pitch, pause, emphasis and speed. The company offers a library of more than 120 human‑parity AI voices across 20 languages and supports diverse accents. Murf’s product targets individual creators, SMBs and enterprises for use cases including advertising, audiobooks, e-learning, explainers, podcasting and customer support. It monetizes via subscription plans and came out of beta in January 2021. The founders say the product has synthesized over one million voiceover projects and that the company has grown many‑fold in ARR since its seed round (the article cites 26x growth). Murf is also working to add more diverse accents by partnering with voice actors. Murf.ai (Murf Inc.) is an AI-powered SaaS application that enables users to create human-like voiceovers for movies, slideshows, and other content without hiring voice artists or buying recording equipment. The platform functions as an online voice studio aimed at content producers. By automating voiceover creation, the company seeks to make high-quality voiceovers more accessible. In July 2021 Murf raised $1.5M in a seed round led by Elevation Capital with angel participation from Vidit Aatrey, Sanjeev Barnwal, Kashyap Deorahe and Ashish Goel. The company plans to use the funding to hire additional employees, develop new products, and expand into new markets. Murf offers its service via its website (https://murf.ai/).
