When evaluating end-to-end human narration services, the most important factor is audio mastering. For services that target the podcast industry, good quality audio output that can be used as-is is a must.

#22Great concept. The other day I stumbled upon https://podcastle.ai/ - I am wondering what makes your product different and how's the performance of conversion so far?

#23But does it automatically include ads for mattresses? That seems to be the reason podcasts exist to begin with.

I got very excited at that link and then progressively more and more disappointed. Why do they have a slick animated ad reel with no example of the speech output? Why is there no example anywhere, even on YouTube? What's the point of this as a chrome extension when you can already say "ok Google, read aloud"? Maybe I'm just salty that I'll never find a good solution for my favorite ebooks that never got an audiobook…
Right! The only thing this site needs is a "Click here to listen to a sample" and it misses its shot.

#28It's amazing that part of their advertising is that they are offering the ability to hire people for transcription of text to audio for even less than competing services. Why... would anyone work for them when they could work for other services that pay 10x more?

#29Curious if you guys consider licensing voices that would be interesting pairing that with the ability to generate a voice for TTS(that small voice sample model generation tech). Then theoretically can use it for whatever eg. home automation or reading stuff on demand. The AWS polly voices are decent but would be nice to get a bigger selection.
