Let's just say this is NOT a wrapper around Elevenlabs or Heygen. I've looked at commercial voice cloning before. But, as you said, the prices seemed ridiculous. Before this, I made audiobooks for my daughter. Old, out-of-print books, turned into speech. If I remember correctly, with Elevenlabs a single book would have cost me > $100. At that price level, I can read the damn thing myself. What good is computer generated voice if it isn't at least 10x cheaper than doing it yourself? I'm just one guy. With me, it's just my time, one or two commercial licenses, and other than that just the raw price of running those GPUs.
