Hey mike. Can you look into TTS .. TEXT TO SPEECH software. There are a bunch of upcoming voice cloning, synthesizers that people can use in a podcast or game as characters. One is Replica and it’s a plugin for unreal engine. Others are resemble.ai, speechelo I’m currently using to try and make podcast. But I think it’s an important topic to cover because it deals with voices for characters in games, and unless you have a lot of money to pay voice actors .. there is no other way.
I could use something like this for my projects but I agree, not at that price (monthly or yearly). I get that the technology behind this product does a great job and I can benefit from it but I'll sit this one out. I'll check back in a few months to see if pricing has changed. Thanks for.making this informative video!
I work at a company where oftentimes an engineer will have to make a 15 minute training video on a topic that they didn't really rehearse for and I could see this being useful for that kind of environment. For my audio work at home I have Audition and Reaper so I'm covered.
Just saw this video. Yes, the price is high, but there is a coupon code out there to drop it to $200 from $300. Also, the updated version now integrates with Camtasia so that if you want to edit an audio track in the Camtasia timeline by "sending to" Audiate, it will take your edits and automatically place them back in the Camtasia timeline and automatically cut/edit the rest of the timeline to match the cuts/edits on the audio track. That's a very handy feature. So now, that $200 spent has a little more value.
I don't know about the filters, but the transcription and matching to waveform features could be done without much difficulty by using a cloud transcription service that has start and stop timestamps for words and phrases (which most of them do).
Useful maybe for long podcast cleaning and someother uses but... If it's an important work-related audio you usually do several takes, and then intonation and delivery is far more important than pauses or hesitations. If it's not that important... then you don't care about pauses and blank spaces. Far too expensive, in any case.
Holy crap, you can get expensive adobe software for less than that, what were they thinking? That is riduculos pricing. The tool seems very useful, but not THAT useful.
I just started my 7-day trial as well. "Idiot-proof" is a pretty good description. Damn. But the pricing really, really sucks. Not sure I can justify that for a lot of pro bono work.
To be fair to Techsmith, this product is aimed at the corporate market like several of their other products like Knowmia, Coach's Eye and Video Review but I agree that I was surprised that it was more than the yearly cost of Camtasia. If it sells well at that price than more power to them and if it doesn't than I expect they will lower the price.
If "you" are doing audio recording for a business pursuit, maybe worth it. Emphasis on maybe. There are too many tools that are free (for audio recording in general) that are really good that make it a hard pill to swallow, particularly if one has taken the time to write scripts to automate things that may already be automated in programs like this, so they are on more equal footing in that regard. Of course, for me, the other downside is that there is no Linux version. To be honest, if we are getting on this subscription bandwagon with WASM and other ways of being able to do compiled backend code, just have it browser based, then it doesn't matter the OS. In for a penny, in for a lb. Make no mistake, I'm no fan of subscription based software at all, but if we are doing this always connected software stuff, may as well go all out and have it browser based as well.
I have been talking to TechSmith and told them about a software called clipchamp because they have tts is text to speech and I have been asking tech smith when are they are going to add text to speech to Camtasia like clipchamp and instead of adding it to Camtasia they put this out. shame on them unless they are going to add tts to audit later. tech smith need to get it done if not it is not worth the price. it need to do both speech to text and text to speech.
I'm not sure "overpriced": "too expensive", yes; "overpriced", no. It's clearly using fairly compute-intensive server-based AI, and they've had to balance out average use, because no-one really likes credit-based setups. That said, though, these are the guys who make Camtasia, and I would say that that's overpriced, personally.
Speed and time are valuable commodities. What would take you five minutes with a tool like this could take you 20-30 or more in Audacity. If you're recording a lot of audio, that adds up quickly.

Waaaaaay over priced!

Great video. I love that you put the caveats up front.
"38 Canadian? Well that's not too b-PER MONTH?!" Oof.
Oof

Oofy Doof

You are the closest thing to an ideal user for this. If even you have have to skip because of bad pricing, then they've failed big.
The research paper for this was reviewed by Two Minute Papers a while back. If you want to implement it yourself you probably can

I’m so done with subscriptions! Everything is a subscription these days with no perpetual licence!
Subscription fees for software are awful. I'd like to own my software instead of renting it.
Then use open source or create your own.
@@TheReferrer72 unfortunately there aren’t always great alternatives. Fortunately, that’s not usually the case!!
@@TheReferrer72 Were it so easy...
Thank you! Your review was right on the money!
That pricing definitely isn't aimed at the individual or home user. They are going for companies and bigger businesses.
What a waste for a relativley small program though
I almost thought this was a Godot plug-in for how the editor looks.

Yeah, the software is great, the pricing is nuts.
Cool video Mike. :D
Great job on the review. And I agree way too expensive.
Subscription Apps are the Worst! Though this looks pretty cool, could be useful for voiceover takes.
only way that pricing makes sense for an individual would be to use it to provide transcription gigs on fiverr or something
but in the first edit, what if you change "well" to "while". That would make sense. But does it work?
This would probably be better for captioning
Morning!
Whatever happened to Audione through Audiseven?
I just started my 7-day trial as well. "Idiot-proof" is a pretty good description. Damn. But the pricing really, really sucks. Not sure I can justify that for a lot of pro bono work.
Can you use Audiate to directly record over a messed up word?
nice ;D

Learn Audacity and have new found knowledge or pay 384 dollar yearly. Touch they placed a "hard bargain"🤣🤣🤣. P.S i already use Audacity
Simple and effective tool.... but that price (yearly too!). Ouch!
If it edited video this way, it would be great. Audio only; useful but not that useful.
I use ZRthymn
I can't believe there's only six comments.
would you tell me why you leave upbge?
Why? Please reply>
...
Huh? I've covered UPGBE. I am not dedicated to a single engine on this channel, in fact quite the opposite.
"I speak like, 7,000 mph" HAHAHA
audacity is easier and free
Does it all work offline?
why wouldnt it
@@stormstudios1 I've looked into transcription recorders before and they required a cloud connection
I knew you were somehow really a robot speaking! 😋

I don't understand why you wouldn't just use Adobe Audition, or cheaper yet Audacity.
Speed and time are valuable commodities. What would take you five minutes with a tool like this could take you 20-30 or more in Audacity. If you're recording a lot of audio, that adds up quickly.
The two genders: improved female and improved male
First?
i dont have a problem with this being subscription based because this software relies on cloud computation. but yeah this is way too expensive.
It seems like it's overpriced unless it's exactly what you need.
