Nice. The voice sounded completely real. Are you using AI on the back-end or real humans? If real humans how long is the turnaround time?

- asciident 6y agoThe voice itself says it's a real voice, and based on the pricing, it looks like it's just narration-as-a-service rather than any automated technique.
- KMnO4 6y agoI didn't dive much deeper, but the header text says "Narrated by real voices". I guess that's why it costs $11/500 words, which is an order of magnitude higher than TTS solutions.
- echelon 6y ago> I guess that's why it costs $11/500 words, which is an order of magnitude higher than TTS solutions. Multiple orders of magnitude. TTS and VC are going to do to voice over and narration what Getty and Flikr did for photography. We're not quite there, but we're not far off. Give it two more years. (I work pretty closely on this domain. I built https://vo.codes https://vo.codes, which sounds like shit, but it's adjacent to cutting edge techniques that sound practically real.)
- paulaz 6y agoYes, we work with real narrators who really care about delivering the best possible reading. TTS is fine but it's never going be able to engage an audience in the same way a real voice can.
- paulaz 6y agoWe wanted to optimise for human engagement so we went to real people :) TTS is fine for some things but very few people actually want to listen to a robot reading to them.
