Artlist TEXT TO SPEECH: AI Voiceover that sounds REAL!

[@Dweller777]

"Master?" A little on-the-nose, don't you think?

[@houseofintent]

It is absolutely NOT worth it. I'm in the middle of a project and even subscribed twice just to get more credits and what do they do? They remove the voice that I use. In the middle of a project and their response when I contacted them was because of performance so that tells me they will remove any vo that is under performing without notice. This feature hasn't even been out past a year and they're already removing features people are paying for. If anyone is thinking of subscribing to their AI VO, just don't. It's a waste of money if this is how they operate.

[@xatmotion]

So am I! And if you confront Artlist about it on Facebook, all you get is a message telling you to contact support and that the voices don't match the update and don't work there. What a pity - should they have waited with the update? Luckily I haven't paid anything extra for it yet and I'm not going to at the moment!

[@xatmotion]

In the meantime, Artlist has implemented an "update" for the service: Originally, only "English" was listed as a supported language. But it also worked almost perfectly with other languages. Even individual words in other languages ​​(e.g. English words in an otherwise German text) were almost always spoken correctly and fluently. Artlist now has several languages ​​listed - including German. A mix of languages ​​as described above now leads to linguistic garbage in each of the voices! In addition, the languages ​​that were somewhat outside the youth influencer mainstream have now completely disappeared or have nothing to do with the original vocally. This means that projects in German with Artlist are currently absolutely impossible and the voice quality in German is also very similar to Apple's current non-AI Siri! The newly added switches for emotions and speed are also unusable because they do everything with the voice, except what it says on the tin.

Their new update completely ruined my project.

[@obryn]

It's great but very limiting. You only get 50,000 credits and there's no option to buy more so you're screwed until next month when it re-ups your credit unless you subscribe on another account

[@sunnymeee]

12$ for 1 hour audio is not good I guess. They should make atleast 3 hours for 12$ then I would go for the subscription

[@PaulHeimlund]

@@obryn I guess Artlist doesn’t want their voices to be used in meaningless faceless KZbin videos, hence the “limited” credits. However, I agree and believe having the option to buy some extra credits would absolutely help ;)

@@PaulHeimlund Entschuldige bitte, aber es scheint, dass es sich hier um einen Anbieter von Dienstleistungen handelt, dessen Hauptziel es sein sollte Gewinne zu erzielen, was verständlich ist. Die angesprochene Zielgruppe sind offensichtlich Kunden, die nur kleine Projekte realisieren und mit einem Jahresplan zurechtkommen. Allerdings, die vordefinierten Stimmen werden mit Lizenzrechten erworben und gehen somit in das Eigentum des Nutzers über. Es reicht schon eine Stunde, um mit diesen Stimmen Unsinn zu produzieren. Der Service wirkt unzureichend und unüberlegt, wenn der Anbieter ihn nicht nachvollziehbar erklärt, da er einen großen Teil der eventuellen Kunden ausschließt und ich denke, das sind nicht gerade wenige, die diesen Service in Anspruch genommen hätten, wenn das Angebot besser wäre. Auf der Website gibt es zwar eine Rubrik mit häufig gestellten Fragen, aber dort wird nicht erklärt, warum der Dienst so eingeschränkt ist oder warum nur ein Jahresvertrag angeboten wird. Es ist ärgerlich, dass Kunden so lange gebunden werden sollen, obwohl die Entwicklung in diesem Bereich schnell voranschreitet und in den kommenden Monaten möglicherweise ein Konkurrenzprodukt mit besserem Service auf den Markt kommt. Ich hoffe, dass dies bald der Fall sein wird.

That was awesome! 😂 3:43 and 4:00

And just like that, thousands of actors are put out of business.

[@The_Schizoid_Man]

good

[@boatrocker919]

If you have to make changes to your text because it doesn’t sound right (adding a comma or a period to change the way your ai actor sounds for example), does it take away from your credits or do you only use credits after you finalize? It would suck to lose credits while you tweak the project. Can anybody shed light on this?

[@ceo911]

@@boatrocker919 yes it seems restrictive just to test & tweak project - they should charge credits upon downloading not edit & test phase.

[@ceo911]

how do you generate test versions of VoiceOver (before downloading your final voice choice) without burning through credits ?

[@PaulHeimlund]

You can’t do tests. I usually do a short sentence until I’m happy with the result. Once I’ve found the voice/style, I generate one sentence at a time. Like this I don’t burn through the credits and if there’s a word or sentence im not happy with, I don’t have to generate a whole paragraph. Hope this helps! :)

[@samthesomniator]

The Dick Wagner Soundtrack to promote that tool. 😂

[@gaborkiss1425]

Can you send in your own voice, for comission or the like?

[@captainfarrell2620]

The backing track is too loud.

[@virginstudio120]

Hey Paul! By any chance, some years ago, di you prepare a student named Flavio? R u?? hahahaha

[@PaulHeimlund]

Damn! Hey Flavio! How’s it going? DM me on Instagram and we’ll continue there😉

[@La-verdad-aunque-duela]

I’m incredibly frustrated. They just rolled out an update, and everything is a complete mess. The voice I was using, Wit, now sounds completely different and unnatural after the update. I was in the middle of a project, but I’ve had to stop because the voice is no longer consistent. Even the other voices have been downgraded, sounding like the robotic AI voices from two years ago. What’s going on with the team behind this update? I’m seriously considering requesting a refund and switching back to other platforms.

[@PaulHeimlund]

@@La-verdad-aunque-duela I hear you man! The “update” feels wrong. Imho it worked better when it was released…

[@projectb3117]

What if everybody starst using those same voices?🤔

[@tonyrushing180]

Just purchased.

[@Retro_80s_Guy]

Do you have to pick from their voices or can you upload a voice clone file?

[@PaulHeimlund]

You have to use their voices

[@ANDROIDGAMZ]

How to use this for free please 😢

[@jamesmeustache7740]

you basically don't want to pay anyone 😂

[@imeantry8006]

Why is it credit based?

[@RonPalacio]

This is actually scaryyyy

[@PaulHeimlund]

Lol! Scary good ;)

[@laurencefegan1875]

@@PaulHeimlund So, how many words can I use per month with the basic subscription, please?

[@NomadByFate]

still too much money for only 50,000 "credits". ahah sounds so funny call them credits ...per month...ahaha

[@letsloveit]

i’ve been playing around with this feature. i wish there were more culturally diverse tones. @2:31 which female voice is this and what settings where used?
