Today, neural networks have become a visible part of daily life. They help create art and video, power voice acting, and sharpen image quality. In the future, AI might drive more of what we see in movies and games, but today their possibilities are widely accessible. This article highlights the most useful programs for practical use.

Advice: If you don’t want to pay to use a neural network after a free period ends, register with a different email and log in from another browser or device. If that fails or the option isn’t available, try a trial subscription to another program.

Neural networks for working with images

For art generated from text prompts, consider these neural networks:

  • Bing Image Creator. Input languages include Russian and English. A VPN may be needed to access it;
  • Kandinsky 3.0. Supports Russian and English inputs;
  • Masterpiece. Input language: Russian;
  • Wombo’s dream. Input language: English;
  • Starjai. Input language: English;
  • Art breeder. Input language: English;
  • Chalk. Input language: English.

There is a separate collection with concrete examples of using neural networks to create images.

The neural network result for the search term Tommу Gun Mafia is shown in a dedicated section.

Have you explored Midjourney’s capabilities?

When there is a need to improve the quality of a photo, artwork, or other image, these neural networks are useful:

  • LargeJPG. Enhances details, reduces noise, and offers 20 free processing tasks;
  • Waifu2x. Reduces noise and boosts resolution, optimized for anime images;
  • AI image magnifier. Removes backgrounds, sharpens details, and increases resolution with eight free treatments per month;
  • Vance A.I. Reduces blur and converts real photos into cartoon drawings;
  • CreativeAI. Retouches faces automatically, colorizes black and white images, and creates animations from static frames.

Last October, a test used the Loopsie neural network to turn famous video game heroines into anime characters. The results can be viewed in the dedicated link.

Neural networks for working with video

OpenAI has introduced a new neural network named Sora, currently in testing. Registration may be possible, and using a VPN is advised, though approval is not guaranteed.

To improve an existing video, try neural networks from this list:

  • Show. Processes frames, recognizes faces, balances audio, selects music, and adds subtitles. In free mode, output is 720p.
  • Pixop. Upgrades video to 8K, smooths motion, removes artifacts and blur. The free version runs for 14 days.
  • Track. Reduces noise, handles backgrounds, enhances image quality, and removes objects. Three new videos can be created for free.
  • Description. Changes the background, raises resolution to 4K, improves sound, and voices the video in a different tone. An hour of video can be generated for free.

All video focused neural networks generally require a VPN connection.

There is an embedded video showing a quick overview of these tools.

Neural networks for text generation

Neural networks can write articles, social posts, ads, and more. It is wise to review the results, as occasional mistakes do occur.

The list below highlights programs that work in Russian:

  • Gerwin. Generates text from scratch and can rewrite existing material. The first 10,000 characters are free.
  • RoboGPT. A Russian analogue of ChatGPT that can create SEO friendly content. A five day trial is available, enabling about 2,000 words to be produced.
  • Porfirievich. Produces short texts that mimic the handwriting of famous writers. Free to use.
  • Neurotexter. Creates new text and improves existing text. The free version runs for seven days with a limit of 22 thousand characters.
  • Turbo text. Continues a draft, paraphrases, translates into Russian, adds headings, and more. The free version allows two generations per day.

Neural networks for voice acting

Neural networks are increasingly used for fan voice acting in games. If you prefer, they can generate voices for YouTube videos, business presentations, or ads. The most useful services include:

  • Text speech. Supports 145 languages and 72 Russian voices, including some free options;
  • Soundgram. Offers around 50 voices, supports emphasis in intonation and assigns lines to different speakers. Free use is possible for up to 10,000 characters;
  • Voice maker. A neural voice with a practical editor to add emotion such as a shout or whisper. Free usage ends after the first 250 characters;
  • Unitools. A straightforward option with six Russian voices. If other free trials have ended, Unitools provides 3,000 characters for voiceover after registration.
