The two voices are really good, but there are some major problems with the generated audio:
1. The speakers keep cutting each other off mid-sentence, completing each other's sentences. This is cute if it happens once in a while, but it's happening so often as to be extremely annoying.
2. It made a 20 minute file, the last 5 minutes of which were essentially a waste, a repetition.
3. There is excessive amounts of filler material. The speakers are not real people, and they don't need to act as such. The listener's time should be valued better.
- wenc 2y agoYou just described the average human podcast (that's not on a Top 100 list). :) The output reminds me of any number of new marketing podcasts that are still trying to find their footing.
- Grimblewald 2y agoPodcasts are generally terrible. They will never get close to text in terms of capability to deliver content, and enabling critical analysis of the content, because unlike text you cannot revisit sections with ease. You cannot ingest information at the same rate as when reading either. While a fun gimmick it feels like a step back in terms of learning / improving rate of ingestion of information. Imagine how useless this site would be if every comment section was just recordings instead of text comments.
- OutOfHere 2y agoWhile that's quite true, you probably must not have listened to the output of my software podgenai yet. It is not a substitute for reading material, but I'd say it's quite instructive in its own way.
