Cyanobacteria AI

What is Cyanobacteria AI?

BlueAlgae AI is an AIGC content creation platform operated by CloudVoice Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd.; it offers services such as voice cloning, text-to-speech synthesis, and AI-generated copywriting. Users can select speakers on the website, edit the text, adjust the way the content is read aloud, and download the resulting audio or subtitles.

It is suitable for creating short videos, audiobooks, courses, ad samples, and narration for social media content. It is designed for content creators; it belongs to a different product line from CloudVoice’s AI platform intended for developers, and the membership benefits cannot be used as API call credits.

Main functions

AI text-to-speech

• After creating a new piece, the user enters or pastes the text, selects a speaker to use for pronunciation and listens to a preview, before submitting the final audio version.
• The platform offers both standard and advanced speakers, and different membership levels provide access to different ranges of voice tones; advanced speakers are available only to members with the appropriate subscription.
• Synthesis consumes monthly credits or purchased word packages based on the actual number of words; the number of words to be synthesized is displayed before submission.
• The maximum length of the text for each piece varies depending on the account level: free, standard, and premium members can use 300 words, 5000 words, and 10000 words respectively.

Precise pronunciation editing

• Multiple voiceovers allow different speakers to be assigned to the selected text, with separate settings for style, speed, volume, and tone; this is suitable for conversations, interviews, and character narration.
• Word and phrase linking is used to combine texts that need to be expressed sequentially, while pauses between words allow for an increase in the silent period at the cursor’s location.
• The number and symbol tools allow you to specify how dates, amounts, numbers, etc. should be read, while the multi-pronunciation character tool is used to select the correct pronunciation for individual Chinese characters.
• Pronunciation replacement allows nouns within a box to be changed to a specified pronunciation, making it suitable for product names, names of people, abbreviations, and industry terms.
• The editor displays the estimated duration and word count; it is possible to listen to a portion of the text or the entire text before final synthesis, thereby reducing the risk of errors.

Voice cloning

• During recording, the page provides a model reading along with the text to be read; the user needs to maintain a steady voice, pronounce clearly, and speak at a moderate pace.
• The platform will check whether the recording is acceptable; the recording environment, the distance from the microphone, noise, and missing words can affect the training results.
• After the recording is uploaded successfully, you can check the training progress on the dedicated audio page, and use the resulting voice tones for subsequent dubbing.
• To clone a voice that is not one’s own, explicit permission from the owner of that voice must be obtained; special care is required when dealing with celebrities’ voices, customer-provided materials, and minors’ voices.

AI copywriting

• Users can enter prompts to generate text, or they can import existing content to use as a basis for further creation.
• The editor offers functions such as continuing the selected text, which is useful for completing scripts for short videos, stories, and product descriptions.
• Text generation utilizes a separate monthly character limit, which is not the same as the character limit for audio synthesis; after generation, it is still necessary to check the facts, advertising statements, and copyright issues.
• The work can be saved in draft form, further edited, a copy of it can be created, or it can be downloaded as TXT to allow for keeping different versions.

Audio and subtitle downloads

The synthesized results are saved in my works, where they can be listened to again, downloaded, and managed. The range of subtitle languages may expand with new versions; the current page does not guarantee that SRT files can be generated for all voiceover languages.

Blue Algae AI Usage Guide

1. Register or log in using your phone number and SMS verification code; read the terms of service and privacy policy before using it for the first time.
2. To clone a sound color, go to Sound Cloning, select the Quick or Advanced mode, and follow the example text to record and verify each step.
3. Create a new dubbed work by pasting or generating the script, and choose an ordinary, advanced, or custom voice actor based on the length of the content and the scenario.
4. Set the speaker, style, speech rate, volume, and tone for different paragraphs, and handle polyphonic characters, numbers, pauses, and special nouns.
5. First, listen to the key segments to verify names, amounts, dates, tone, and rhythm, then submit the official version for synthesis, which will consume the character quota.
6. After synthesis is complete, download the MP3 or WAV file; if video subtitles are needed, download the SRT file in the appropriate language.
7. Before release or delivery, conduct a thorough check using headphones to ensure there are no incorrect notes, missed syllables, abnormal pauses, distortion, or unauthorized content.

Free accounts and member benefits

Regular members can use fast cloning unlimited times and advanced cloning once per task, with a limit of 5000 characters per piece. Premium members have unlimited access to both fast and advanced cloning, with a limit of 10000 characters per piece.

Price for word count packages for creation

The price, the monthly equivalent amount, and the benefits are the data displayed on the current product page; when renewing, the details shown on the new payment page will apply. The validity period of the character package, the order in which charges are deducted, and the remaining quota must be confirmed again before making the payment.

Notes on payments, renewals, and refunds

• The membership agreement states that activation is done via WeChat Pay; the actual payment method and order amount are subject to those shown on the settlement page.
• Once activated, the membership cannot be transferred; the specific duration of service is determined by the monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual plan purchased.
• The agreement does not provide unified rules that cover all normal refund scenarios; before paying for virtual services, it is necessary to use the free trial quota to test the sounds and effects first.
• In the event that the service or account is suspended or terminated due to violations, the agreement specifies that any fees paid for services that were not utilized will not be refunded.
• The package options, speakers, number of works, and frequency of usage can be adjusted as needed for operational reasons; after renewal, the benefits listed on the page at the time of renewal will apply.

Supported platforms and scope of use

The user agreement limits the use of the service to the Chinese mainland; use in other regions may fall outside the scope of the services provided. When creating content for overseas markets, it is necessary to check locally applicable rules regarding audio rights, advertising, and AI identifiers.

API, SDK, and open-source status

The fact that the same company provides an API does not mean that members of the BlueAlgae AI website can directly use those interfaces. When a bulk system integration is required, it is necessary to reevaluate the functions, permissions, and costs in accordance with the documentation provided by the open platform as well as the terms of the contract with the company.

Privacy and data security

• Registration and login require a mobile phone number and an SMS verification code; customer service and security checks may also utilize account information.
• Dubbing, text writing, and custom voices are used to process the text and voice input by users; the recording function requires access to the microphone.
• Text, voice data, and usage information can be utilized to improve services after undergoing irreversible anonymization and data masking; anonymized or de-identified voice data can also be used for model training.
• The platform may collect data such as browser information, operating system details, location, service provider, IP address, access records, browsing activity, download statistics, and click logs, for purposes of security, troubleshooting, and analytics.
• Information generated within the country is, in principle, stored within China. Network logs must be retained for at least six months in accordance with the law, while transaction information must be kept for at least three years from the time the transaction takes place.
• Users can query, correct, delete, copy, transfer information, revoke permissions, and request cancellation; such requests are typically processed within 15 working days.

Copyright, sound licensing, and commercial boundaries

• The text entered, the recordings uploaded, and the sounds used must be legal; they must not violate anyone’s copyright, right to portrait, reputation, privacy, or trade secrets.
• To clone someone else’s voice, valid authorization must be obtained, and the rules regarding training, synthesis, dissemination, commercial use, as well as the duration of such authorization must be clearly defined; oral consent alone is not sufficient.
• AI outputs may contain errors, omissions, or deviations from what is expected; critical content in fields such as healthcare, finance, news, contracts, and advertising must be reviewed manually.
• The agreement stipulates that users must produce, sell, and use voice technology in accordance with the terms set out therein; it also specifies that membership services are intended for personal use only, and any further licensing requires written permission.
• Before using the service for commercial purposes, recording voices on behalf of clients, reselling audio files, or distributing them on a large scale, it is necessary to verify with CloudVoice the scope of the account permissions and to retain the documents granting authorization for the respective voices and materials.
• When using generated synthetic content, it is also necessary to comply with the applicable AI labeling, content review, and platform publishing rules; one must not use cloned voices to deceive others or pose as someone else.

Suitable for users and scenarios

• Short-video and self-media creators: Produce voiceovers, narrative captions, knowledge explanations, and audio for bulk segments.
• Audio book and story creators: Use multiple voices, pauses, and pronunciation corrections to distinguish between characters and narration.
• Course and corporate training producers: Combine the script into audio, and download the text and subtitles for video editing.
• Brand and advertising team: Creates internal audio samples and proposals, but before using them commercially, it is necessary to verify the audio, copywriting, and membership permissions.
