iFLYTEK Zhizuo

iFlytek Zhizuo is a one-stop Chinese AI voice and virtual anchor studio for TTS dubbing, voice cloning, and digital human video production.

Overview

Zhizuo (讯飞智作) is the production arm of iFlytek’s speech platform, combining high-quality Chinese text-to-speech with virtual anchor video creation. It offers hundreds of broadcast-grade Mandarin voices spanning news, storytelling, advertising, and customer service styles, with fine control over emotion, speed, and pronunciation of domain-specific terms.

The platform’s voice cloning (声音复刻) lets users create a personal voice from minutes of sample audio, while the virtual anchor module pairs synthesized speech with digital presenters for video news, training content, and product explainers. As a mature enterprise product from China’s leading speech company, it carries strong compliance and localization for domestic deployments.

The virtual anchor module deserves attention: synthesized speech drives digital presenters that read news, training scripts, and product introductions on camera, combining iFlytek’s TTS with avatar video in one workflow. Domain pronunciation dictionaries handle technical and industry terminology accurately.
