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…

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 p…

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…

Thanks, we intended the playground to be merely a testing tool for the new model we're building. We'll improve based on your feedback!

Yes, we are working on making the API pay as you go soon. Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you. Would fix this.

We have an API - https://docs.play.ht/reference/api-getting-started We have a beta streaming endpoint but the latency is not real time yet (something we're working on) and are addi…

Thanks for sharing this ^

You are right, the technology will become ubiquitous, therefore, at least for platforms like us, it's a responsibility to have countermeasures and safeguards to prevent abuse and h…

You are right, and unfortunately that is a possibility, and we are working on having measure in place to guard against such attempts. We have auto moderation on the input text that…

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 moder…

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 want…

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

The latency is not real-time yet but we're working on getting it to near real time. Regarding controlling the voice, we've added a few params like rate, voice guidance and temperat…
