Romanian sounds awful too, like the TTSes from 15 years ago.
can you try with a Romanian voice?
Sounds absolutely amazing, like 99% indistinguishable from real professional voice actors to me. I couldn't find any pricing though. Anyone know what they charge for it?
I did not see an British accent example. Generally it appears the TTS systems all do US accents and the British accent tends to sound like Frasier - an American faking an British accent.
English sounds really great, congrats! other languages I've tried doesn't sound that good, you can hear a strong english accent

The French one sounded like an Alabaman who took a semester of college French. But the English sounds really good.
If you're trying to make an audiobook about an Alabaman visiting Paris this might be quite useful... But in seriousness try it with this voice: https://elevenlabs.io/app/voice-library?voiceId=rbFGGoDXFHtV...
Being patronized by a machine when you just want help is going to feel absolutely terrible. Not looking forward to this future.
The (American English) voices are absolutely amazing but the tags for laughs still feel more like an "inserted dedicated laugh section" than a "laugh at this point in speaking" type thing. I.e. it can't seem to reliably know when to giggle while saying a word, "just" giggle leading up to a word.
Even though ElevenLabs remains the quality leader, the others aren't that far behind.
There are even a bunch of good TTS models being released as fully open source, especially by cutting-edge Chinese labs and companies. Perhaps in a bid to cut off the legs of American AI companies or to commoditize their compliment. Whatever the case, it's great for consumers.
YCombinator-backed PlayHT has been releasing some of their good stuff too.
