'''Retrieval-based Voice Conversion''' ('''RVC''') is an [[open source]] voice conversion [[artificial intelligence|AI]] algorithm that enables realistic speech-to-speech transformations, accurately preserving the intonation and audio characteristics of the original speaker.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Cochard |first=David |date=January 7, 2024 |title=RVC: An AI-Powered Voice Changer |url=https://medium.com/axinc-ai/rvc-an-ai-powered-voice-changer-39927cc83bee |website=Medium}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
In contrast to [[text-to-speech]] systems such as [[ElevenLabs]], RVC differs by providing speech-to-speech outputs instead. It maintains the modulation, timbre and vocal attributes of the original speaker, making it suitable for applications where emotional tone is crucial.<br />
<br />
The algorithm enables both pre-processed and real-time voice conversion with low latency. This real-time capability marks a significant advancement over previous AI voice conversion technologies, such as So-vits SVC. Its speed and accuracy have led many to note that its generated voices sound near-indistinguishable from "real life", provided that sufficient computational specifications and resources (e.g., a powerful [[graphics processing unit|GPU]] and ample [[random-access memory|RAM]]) are available when running it locally and that a high-quality voice model is used. <ref>{{Cite web |title=What's RVC |url=https://docs.ai-hub.wtf/essentials/whats-rvc/ |access-date=2024-05-27 |website=AI Hub |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Masuda |first=Naotake |date=September 21, 2023 |title=State-of-the-art Singing Voice Conversion methods |url=https://medium.com/qosmo-lab/state-of-the-art-singing-voice-conversion-methods-12f01b35405b |website=Medium}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Understanding RVC - Retrieval-based Voice Conversion<br />

<br />
==Applications and concerns==<br />
The technology enables voice changing and mimicry, allowing users to create accurate models of others using only a negligible amount of minutes of clear audio samples. These voice models can be saved as {{Mono|.pth}} ([[PyTorch]]) files. While this capability facilitates numerous creative applications, it has also raised concerns about potential misuse as [[deepfake]] software for [[identity theft]] and malicious impersonation through voice calls.<br />
<br />
===In pop culture===<br />
RVC inference has been used to create realistic depictions of song covers, such as replacing original vocals with characters like [[Twilight Sparkle]] and [[Mordecai (Regular Show)|Mordecai]] to have them sing duets of popular music like "[[Airplanes (song)#2021 resurgence|Airplanes]]" and "[[Somebody That I Used to Know]]." These AI-generated covers, which can sound strikingly similar to the voice imitated, have gained popularity on platforms like [[YouTube]] as humorous [[internet meme|meme]]s.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-07-06 |title=RVC WebUI How To – Make AI Song Covers in Minutes!
