A new voice has appeared on TikTok text-to-speech features over the past few days after the social media platform was charged to court by a voice actress who claimed to be the original voice featured in the app without her permission.
The feature allows TikTok users to type out text and then have it read aloud over their videos, and it's often used as a narrator.
This new voice appears to be a response to a lawsuit filed against TikTok owner ByteDance earlier this month.
Voice actor Bev Standing claimed that she was the voice behind TikTok’s text-to-speech feature and that she had never agreed to work with the company. Standing said she had done voice recordings meant to be used for translations, but that she hadn’t authorized the use of her voice beyond that specific instance.
The lawsuit concerns the English-language voice used in North America. Videos made prior to the change still feature the old voice.
