I just tried to signup with a Hotmail email address and I got this error message: This email cannot be used to create an account. It might be due to your email domain name. I realize Hotmail isn't the sexiest email provider these days but it's one of the more commonly used. Do you have a list of email domains you allow?
When I try test my digital voice, after clicking "Generate," I get this error after about 10 seconds: Something went wrong. Please try again! I've tried about 5 times. EDIT: I went to back to the page a few minutes later, and the recordings were all there. So it looks like it works, but is giving a false error message.
Can you refresh and try again? Let me know if it works.
Small issue: Would be nice if you could delete recordings.

We accept hotmail. It might be because of some special characters. Do you use + ?
I tried with my Gmail address and it worked fine. That address has no numbers in it. I used the same password. If you aren't prohibiting Hotmail addresses then it must be the numbers in the email address that are triggering some validation.
Regardless, I have access now. Looking forward to trying your product!

It's the only sane and easy (but obviously not bullet-proof) way of catching spammers out.
Sounds amazing! Just to add a usecase - for many people, creating a decent voiceover is one of the big sticking points for producing youtube videos or educational courses. If I could write a script, and have software generate a decent enough voiceover, it would be amazing. It's not even necessary to copy anyone's voice, as long as there's a selection of the most comprehensible and human-sounding ones. Then, you could…
I made a joke video for work, featuring clips of Sir David Attenborough narrating a fake nature documentary I cut together from video I took at work. It would have been an order of magnitude better if I could just generate arbitrary phrases in his voice. (Or maybe not; maybe the constraint made the video better.)
While it's good that you have an ethics page: https://lyrebird.ai/ethics/ , it only has two ethical guidelines: * Spread awareness of this technology * Your digital voice remains yours I would feel a lot better about this if you also had explicit ethical boundaries, for example disallowing users impersonating someone else, e.g. Donald Trump, Barack Obama. "Your digital voice remains yours" sort of sounds like you won…
To build on that a bit. My bank uses voice recognition as a security measure and to authenticate me when I call in. Throw a bad actor in the mix and that becomes a security issue.
Seems from right out of the gate, they are breaking their own ethical guidelines as a cheap promotional tactic. If they care that little about themselves and a former president of the United States, what do they care about your likeness.
It also doesn't help that you give them a universal perpetual license to do whatever they want (including selling your likeness for someone else's use) by uploading.
This just seems like a slimy team that put up an ethics page as a CYA.
I'm willing to eat my words if they had Barak Obama's consent to use his digitized voice for this but, it's highly doubtful since there's also the coat and seal of the President of the United States on the flag in the background which would be a massive ethical breach of a former President just to promote a silly little startup.
