ElevenLabs

“all sits comfortably within the $20 a month sub”

“elevenlabs is better but still not quite right somehow”

“You can even do custom voices pretty easily.”

“ElevenLabs definitely sounds more natural for voice.”

“much of the magic is done by access to elevenlabs and suno apis”

“something that could only exist with an API like eleven's”

“the only paid API that is slightly better is eleven labs”

“11labs does _way_ more than basic TTS. The options, customizability, quality of voice cloning (for editing your own voices), etc is far more than what you see on the surface.”

“ElevenLabs got a lot of attention for their remarkable zero shot model, but their pricing and enterprise focus created an enduring niche.”

“its TTS offering is extremely overpriced by an absurdly large factor”

“uses ElevenAI to generate voice lines from the voiced lines that do exist in the game”

“They've grown revenues at a solid clip, provide real value”

“The new wave of TTS (models from OpenAI, ElevenLabs, etc) sounds great but gives you almost no phoneme-level control”

“The AI is still noticable but the quality is pretty impressive.”

“it's quite monotonous, although they're quite relaxing”

“when you have ElevenLabs and OpenAI running laps around it”

“which I would call world class companies even if not huge scale”

“very very good with conveying the emotion”

“Eleven Labs made voiceover work that used to cost thousands into a $5 task”

“I couldn't get the voice stability I wanted with Elevenlabs v3 so had to use Elevenlabs v2”

“it came out pretty good on their cheap $5 plan”

“its the highest quality transcription model I found for my personal use case”

“Does anyone see a reason to still use elevenlabs etc. ?”

“Sometimes the audio isn't great (it tends to mess up phone numbers)”

“ElevenLabs is awesome for speech generation (nothing beats it), but their speech to text is terrible especially for voice activity detection.”

“the pricing there makes the unit economics pretty tough for high volume calls”

“ElevenLabs had made their STT-LLM-TTS pipeline way faster in the past month”

“ElevenLabs is obviously the quality winner but their per-character pricing eats up all the margin”

“eleven labs api which is pretty generous”

“make good sounding TTS but it's not quite human yet”

“stay comfortably in the free plan with awesome voice messages”

“If you want to get real good quality TTS, you should check out elevenlabs.io”

“voice cloning as good as 11l (for non-english languages even)”

“ElevenLabs has done such a good work with their product”

“you could just upload a 30 second clip of someone's voice in another language and hear what it was like in English and it worked really well”

“Now try an actual speech model like ElevenLabs or Soniox, not something not made for it.”

“Dedicated audio models from vendors like ElevenLabs or Soniox use speaker detection models to produce an accurate speaker based transcript”

“ElevenLabs stills rules pretty much in this space”

“The paid models are still too expensive for personal long-form use-cases.”

“they seem fine (with the occasional weirdness around a proper noun.)”
