One of the most important features for many viewers is whether a license lets you use the output on UA-cam. I saw some kinds of TTS and the basic license like $50 or $60 did "NOT" let you use the output on UA-cam. That was a deal killer.
A good general rule of thumb is that if you create unique content, you're probably on the safe side. But, if you take some article and push it through a TTS engine, then publish it as a UA-cam video, that will be seen as unoriginal or duplicate content-and no one likes that, neither humans nor algorithms.
@@RuedRiisCom No, what he's talking about is not copyright-related. Take channel Radio TSS as an example. He used NaturalReader's Matthew (Plus) voice with a commercial license. Their Personal Plus license is $110/year while their Commercial Single Plan (single-user), granted, is far more advanced with inflection, timing, and whatnot, but it’s still a whopping $588/year. Their so-called Premium voices that make the free MS Edge ones sound more like Elvis and Celine Dion by comparison, are garbage and only marginally less “Oh God, please turn it off!” quality than their free ones, so if I were to pick their stuff, it would have to be their Personal Plus, but even if audio wasn’t an issue as described, for some ridiculous reason you need the Plus plan to get even just one Danish voice. Not Swedish, mind you; they have a “Premium” version of that, despite them being only 10.5 M, and we’re 5.9 M, but we’re just as fresh out of luck as our Norwegian brethren. I just briefly checked out Speechify and will look into them some more and compare them to NaturalReader, and whatever else I can find, but both these two companies’ female voices are way worse than the male ones, as a rule. Since deeper male voices seem to sound more real instead of that screechy pitch reminding me of 80s hip-hop, I assume it’s the high pitch causing problems. Have you ever tried NaturalReader or know of someone who uses it and does so fondly? I'm only looking at this whole thing because I'm so done with Edge. It freezes every few hours on both my higher-end 32GB laptop and my $2,000 64GB desktop. Edge even has cool stuff, like a handful of African countries' accents for English. *Below is from their FAQ section* _about Personal vs. Commercial use_ NaturalReader Commercial is the only one of our products that allows you to use its software and voices for commercial or public use. This includes, but is not limited, to: UA-cam videos, public announcements, broadcasts, and e-Learning. The non-commercial versions (Personal, Professional, and Ultimate) are for personal use only. These versions and their voices cannot be used for any public or commercial purposes.
Ive been using spoken content functionality on my phone, and it turn me to TTS addict.. i just love how these apps change my reading habit and makes me pickup more ebook in a week
Rued, that's a great collection of handy tools right there. You saved us countless hours on search and comparison. Wish you everything well and let the algorithm bless you.
Useful information in the video, I just suggest that you change the room in which you record. Your microphone sound is very bad. You have a lot of echoes. Everything resonates. Either put some sound barriers or change the room. Good luck with the channel.
Haha, I know - we just moved, and there was no furniture in the room. And, I didn't have a Denoise plugin installed yet, so all good things are coming in future videos :)
So many text to speech services out there. I would agree that Descript is one of the best! Especially to overdub. I also use Revoicer which is a low cost choice with a few good AI voices in its lower cost plan. Thanks for review, and I had not known there were Avatar services out there, which could be used for explainer videos within company use or presentations, however, these Avatars don't seem complex enough (in acting) to do a You Tube video channel with them. Using yourself on UA-cam may still be the better way to go. But for company use, any of these AI voices and Avatars could be great and fast to use for certain applications like tutorials!
Imagine taking your favorite speaker, like the narrator of "Forensic Files," and using 30 min's of his voice-overs to recreate his voice for your podcasts, now that he has died.
After going through all the popular TTS softwares, I’m pretty confident to say that Murf’s pro voices are most realistic and flexible, some sound so real it’s impossible to tell them apart from a real human voice. The only issue is it costs 36 dollars a month.
Thanks, that's great input. I was quite impressed as well 👌🏻 Yes, there's a cost, but if you have your job pay for it, or a client, I guess it's fine :)
I tried 11labs but you lose your allowance of characters if you need to re-generate the audio, which obviously you’ll need to do to hear if you need to change anything, it’s a bit of a bummer because their voices are really good. With Murf are there any restrictions like this? I know it says 4 hours of voice generation per month which is fine but I don’t want to sign up and find the same issue lol
Is there any good TTS program thats a one-time purchase. I adamantly REFUSE to subscribe monthly to any program that could easily run on a single computer.
Someone needs to do a Revoicer vs. Descript for their best features, as both have great interfaces and features, to adjusting text and you get a large character limit per month (Revoicer has 600,000 character use per month). Revoicer lets you create emphasis on "select words and phrases" by adding heightened volume selectively to words (which humans do naturally while talking) or the program uses punctuation for emphasis and adding emotion styles to whole sentences (but so does Descript). If it mispronounces a word, just write it phonetically and it will say it right. Descript allows you many things including creating your own AI voice to adding dubbing changes to text. Descript seems to have the most options of any AI software at a monthly fee. For my money though, Descript and Revoicer are both champs in their own way! Have you reviewed Revoicer?
I'm looking for one that works well for the french language (i'm learning it so i want it to read some basic stories for me), which one do you guys recomend?
descript wasnt good at all it didnt have premade voices like said and it trying to get access to my webcam even when said no and to not keep asking. it came up as malware so i wont be using it. i just want a realistic text to to speech to use to listen to stories with while i work.

Vyond is great for a lot of things but not for editing a full video that combines live footage recorded on a camera, screen recording, etc. What I've used to edit this video is called Screenflow and is basically screen recording software for Mac. Although over the last couple of years they've really made huge improvements in their user interface and now I use it to create all my UA-cam videos.
@@RuedRiisCom thanks! Ive checked out descript, as you have mentioned that in the Video. They now have a storyboard feature. You should really check it out. I'd Like to hear your feedback on that, if it can deliver what it promesis. ☺️
Quick thought, in none of these systems are there voice volume for inflections. Every voice shown here are flat mono tone and easy to pick out of a croud.
Just tried this Murf, its a JOKE , i made a small 30s presentation, it said in the top right 10min left ..upgrade ?.. my video was 30s long ! ,the video-images are PEXELS free stock , when i tried to download the video+voice version , it usked me to upgrade hahaha , bull shit. Free stock content , few voices choice , but still so hungry to just get payed ? I realy would not recommend this service.
Actually, natural TTS exists since around 2003... and back in the days they where already very human like... and they existed for Windows and MacOS and had a price of 30€ for a life time licence and with many languages available and completely offline (except for the licence check). You only had to search for "natural text to speech"... sure, the microsoft and MacOS default TTS didn't sound good. Nowadays, they are online generated with kind of AI.... but this doesn't meen they are better now. Moist of them are pritty lame.... sure, there are a few available with markup, explaining how to say a specific word... adding a break or a high pitch to it.... but there aren't many around that can do this.
. I used to use one that was probably pretty rudimentary for 2023, but it knew how to intonate questions, unfortunately it stopped working in Windows 10.
I am very poor. Tried a lot to change my financial situation but couldn't. Now that I have created this channel, I need support from people like you. please
TTS is not new - I used to work with several of them back in that time, around 2003. Some people are presenting now as a new invention from AI, but this is a wrong information. And some were very good as well as voice recognition software.
Huuuuuuuhhh... I've been using Amazon Polly Neural voices and it seems that all Murf does is wrapping those... They have the same tone, they just change the name of the narrator.
Is it true? I’ve heard this a couple of times - that the “core” is made by someone else and these startups “wrap” those in nice interface. But that’s also worth something!
I have to say, anyone who believes that any of these examples “sound natural” is kidding himself. They don’t. I work with this stuff all the time, not because I choose to, but because some customers have been sold a bill of goods on how good TTS is, and demand it, rather than a real voice, because they think it will make their courses more maintainable. While you can get away with some TTS for very-short-form material like phone prompts, it’s painful to be stuck listening to this kind of eLearning narration for just five minutes, let alone a 30-45 minutes’ longer training. And if you’re talking about very complex technical material, using TTS is just putting your poor learner through a painful exercise in trying to learn from a voice that doesn’t understand the material. I’m sorry, but as far as I’m concerned, TTS still has a LONG way to go to replace a real voice from a true voice actor. The ones who will be replaced are those who *never were* more than “script readers,” and who therefore added little-to-no value in the first place.
They all lack inflection. There was one that did get pretty close and is called Sonantic. But Spotify bought the company and isn't making the service available to anyone.
@@SnoopyDoofie: Yes, and they cannot, for example, contrast two things, such as when we say, "On the one hand, we have THIS, but on the other hand, we have THAT!" And this kind of non-verbal communication, which I believe is at the heart of what you're calling 'inflection,' can only come from a comprehension of the concepts that *underlie* the words, which is far more than the mere words themselves. This is why good voiceovers really are voice ACTORS. Even in eLearning, you're playing the character of an expert in a field who is helping a trainee understand something complex and mostly unintuitive.
@@eclexian It's just a matter of time though before TTS will be human like. Just take a look at how incredible ChatGPT has come within just two years. I think that within the next 3 years this will be realized since so many are working on it.
@@RuedRiisCom The "subscription" craze is turning out to be a way to suck more money out of people...I'm getting tired of it popping up everywhere...more and more companies are jumping on the money-sucking craze that cloud-based services opened the door to...
@@TL2LThere are some, but they're not natural. Balabolka is one example, but it doesn't come close to the vast majority that are neural today, but it does help with texts.
Speechify is absolute shit. I had to delete their text to try my own paragraph, and when I clicked play, the play button turned into a circular arrow and never played a thing. Total garbage.
You wanna talk about horrible text to speech? Just think for a minute how much people with reading disabilities had to deal with the Microsoft Mary, Sam and Mike voices from the times way way back in the early 2000s when they got Microsoft reader, which is Microsoft's version of adobe reader, these 3 voices were literally all they had access to, and that was it! You couldn't just get other voices because some schools and other places like that were not allowed to get other voices that would sound better. The only 3 voices most likely had were Mary, Sam, and Mike. And that was it. They couldn't go find other voices they thought sounded better. These 3 voices were all they had! I don't blame those who absolutely hated these voices, but I also get it for those who loved these voices, and those who just didn't care or complain. Sometimes, if these robotic voices are all you have, just be greatful you can actually convert text to speech. Just be lucky this was a thing back in the early 2000s, guys. Because if we were still living in that time, let's just say it wasn't easy. It really wasn't. If we had to go back in time, then everyone might just know not to always complain. Back in that time, when tts still sounded robotic, well, it was a time when, quite frankly, beggars can't be choosers. That used to be the case.
is there any applications that don't rape you financially on a monthly bases? what happened to the day when you could buy a full version of the application and not be subject to this obvious theft?
Thanks for the info.

I liked the old readers, they bring me nostalgia.
You sound Danish
They still all sound like robots. Give it a couple more years or so.
entire selling mess,no where near,it will never be near human
Good point - thanks for sharing 🙌🏻
You wanna talk about horrible text to speech? Just think for a minute how much people with reading disabilities had to deal with the Microsoft Mary, Sam and Mike voices from the times way way back in the early 2000s when they got Microsoft reader, which is Microsoft's version of adobe reader, these 3 voices were literally all they had access to, and that was it! You couldn't just get other voices because some schools and other places like that were not allowed to get other voices that would sound better. The only 3 voices most likely had were Mary, Sam, and Mike. And that was it. They couldn't go find other voices they thought sounded better. These 3 voices were all they had! I don't blame those who absolutely hated these voices, but I also get it for those who loved these voices, and those who just didn't care or complain. Sometimes, if these robotic voices are all you have, just be greatful you can actually convert text to speech. Just be lucky this was a thing back in the early 2000s, guys. Because if we were still living in that time, let's just say it wasn't easy. It really wasn't. If we had to go back in time, then everyone might just know not to always complain. Back in that time, when tts still sounded robotic, well, it was a time when, quite frankly, beggars can't be choosers. That used to be the case.
How about Climpchamp free from Microsoft?
Let me know if you want to try @Resemble AI too ;)
Yes, shoot me an email if you want to collaborate :)
is there any applications that don't rape you financially on a monthly bases? what happened to the day when you could buy a full version of the application and not be subject to this obvious theft?
i think wellsaidlabs the best one so far
It is for sure an interesting platform, and one I have to review at some point 👌🏻
