Thanks. What we've shared here is a demo tool to show our new speech model that can clone a voice with few seconds of audio. You can try that with English or non-English recordings, but the generated voice can only speak English at the

We launched the playground.play.ht in beta to share the new speech model we are working on. We've been operating play.ht for a while and have teams from these companies using the platform.

The intention for this playground was to let people try the model. We actually have auto moderation on the user facing platform ( https://play.ht/ ) and malicious text gets blocked and the user get flagged.

Couldn't agree more with your comment. We are working on counter measures like manual verification of voice, a classifier to detect cloned speech, etc. As of now we have auto moderation in place that detects and blocks hate/harmfu

Thanks for the feedback. We certainly want to support gaming studios of all sizes and are working with few of them to understand the workflows. What we've seen is not everyone wants a high-fidelity clone (which cost more), most of thei

It's an effort to prevent abuse. We previously asked users to pay upfront but most people want to try it out first.
