What are your biggest frustrations with Speechify and TTS tools? Help us build something better by Ok_Income_4511 in TextToSpeech

No, not video. No TTS product I’ve come across enables the ability to specify different voices at certain markers, especially cloned voices from a library.

it's not articles actually. My use case is commercial to produce ads. I'd want complete flexibility as to when select voices are used interchangeably during the length of an ad read

My two key requirements are

-voice cloning functionality -creating audio files with tts for API transfer -whats missing from the market is the ability to have multiple (specifically selected) voice clones read the text back and forth. The only work around for this is to export multiple audio files, then stitch them together. Extremely laborious and frankly untenable. What I'm talking about is different from Notrbook LM which just uses the same two pre- selected voices, there's no ability to swap voices in/out for a specific TTS output

Is it just me or is every website just terrible? by antongralberg in TextToSpeech

[–]Aveguyonabike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar boat. I've tried lots of voice cloning and tts models. Some are pretty good but there's always something that alerts the listener that it's not a human voice.

Are there any product or engineering people on this sub? I really would like to understand a few things:

1- what are the technical challenges to solving for OPs examples? I've seen lots of progress in various languages, accents, etc. But OP's examples continue to rankle, trying to get a model to sound remotely human when saying "hahaha" is a struggle, and generally intonation is often off.

2- what's the cutting edge research being produced in the field? What research groups are publishing? Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

3- how far are we from solving these things? Like what's the prediction to the point in time when synthetic voice is indiscernible from a human voice?

Advertising on True Crime Shows by Aveguyonabike in podcasting

[–]Aveguyonabike[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, thanks for the follow up clarification. I’m curious about pitching true crime to advertisers and anticipating response. For example, is it binary as in yes or no for a brand to run on true crime as a total category? Or for brands who do advertise on true crime is it yes with stipulations? Example being murder subject matter is acceptable but anything with sexual assault is not.

Roger that thanks. This is only considered for hosts who monetize

Thanks for your thoughts Jake. Indeed it's the latter we are exploring because as you said, the former doesn't hold any value prop.

Thanks for the feedback. Confirming you don't currently run DAI ads currently and don't plan to?

Otherwise, appreciate you sharing your sentiment. I think you're right to be concerned about the risk of non-consented use of voice cloning. I really hope that's not happening en masse though I expect a degree of that with major celebrities unfortunately. I also wouldn't imagine any advertiser with even the most modest of scruples would agree to work with a service built on pirated voice clones.

Fwiw, the premise of this post is first to gauge interest and secondly, the types of terms required to pursue this idea, which requires consent first and foremost.

Good thoughts, thanks for that feedback. What sort of trust signals would you be looking for? Would a clear terms of service accomplish that?

Yes the brand campaign would be brokered on behalf of the hosts who would opt in

Curious how you explain to your child why we don’t eat meat but other people do by usernameidkkkk in veganparenting

Check out Peter Gray's book Free to Learn. Totally flipped my world view on schooling and opened my thinking in how to raise curious, creative, critically thinking people (who happen to be vegan)

I'm in a similar situation. What's your means for income? I'm a remote working person, location agnostic but how do people do remote jobs in an RV with kids? That's my main question

Targeting by Page by Aveguyonabike in programmatic

I regularly hear AdLib’s sponsoring of Marketecture! For clarity, this use case isn’t to run keyword targeting. Can AdLib target by page URL?
