- ShakataGaNai 7y agoThe ultra-realistic voices sound fairly good, probably as good as AWS Polly, maybe better (Didn't listen that long, and only the US accent female voices). But... otherwise this service doesn't make a lot of sense. Mostly in the pricing and features. Why am I paying per month for what is a service that is competing with traditional voice overs, which charge per word or length? So if say I want to tie my small blog into this and a lot is written a month, it makes sense. But if I take a month off... I pay for nothing. At least with most products you're paying storage, but this is not that service. Also no API and when it does come will cost $100/month? That means for sure I'm never using this. You'd be paying for ~8 average length novels per month of transcription - regardless of what you need - just for automation. Again, Polly has an API and costs pennies compared to this.
- narrationbox 7y agoOur customers are mostly not software developers. It is an enterprise tool targeted at professional podcasters, audiobook creators, news agencies etc. Primarily for content creation, automation is a higher tier add-on. The freelancer plan is more than sufficient for one-off conversions for e.g. a mom and pop YouTube video. Most of the features we offer add tremendous value for enterprises who have extremely high demands for audio quality and creation.
