Transcripts
we've got a new player in the Texas
speech game and it's called TTS open AI
some say they have nothing to do with
open Ai and just use the name others say
it's open ai's website I don't believe
either of those is true what I think's
going on here is that TTS
open.com has created a website they use
the open AI text to speech appy and so
this is a front-end user interface that
is not open AI but they connect to open
AI through the appy maybe I'm wrong
that's my guess let's see how it works
already pasted some texts in here it's
just a a little welcome from my fake
podcast take a look at what voices we
have the sun rises in the East and sets
in the west this simple fact has been
observed by humans for that is alloy
here's echo in the Heart of the City
there is a large Park where people go to
relax and enjoy nature the park has a
sounded the same to me the sun rises in
the East and in the Heart of the City
those are very similar we have Fable the
library is a quiet and peaceful place
where people go to read study and learn
little bit of a British accent there the
train chugged along the tracks carrying
passengers to their destinations now
Nova in the kitchen the aroma of freshly
baked bread filled the air the loaves
were golden brown and Shimmer the beach
was a popular spot on a hot summer day
people were swimming in the ocean so
we've got six voices to work with there
under the open AI voices tab over on
system voices we have a few more Buck
did not read the newspaper or he would
have known that trouble was brewing Al
and over this great demen buck ruled
Lisa there he lay for the remainder of
the weary night Mia for two days and
nights this Express Car Teresa and buck
was truly a redyed devil last but not
least Ella as he spoke he fearlessly
patted the head he had so mercilessly
pounded we're going to go back to the AI
voices and I think we'll just use the
first one here we use alloy so we have
that selected if we wanted to select a
different voice for this piece of text
we just kind of click on the speaker
card and it gives it a bright green
border now you do have all these ads
here to dodge around apparently if you
subscribe to a Premium plan the ads go
away I can live with them as long as
it's free click create speech welcome to
the ridiculous rants podcast I'm David
now we've also got this story maker mode
and if we switch over to that we can
create a conversation you can do that
either by importing an SRT file which is
like your timed caption file or we can
click add conversation we'll start with
this welcome to the ridiculous rant
podcast I'm David and we have some
options here we can have a silence
before we can set the speed anywhere
from uh quarter speed to 4X we need to
click the button here in this row if we
want to change the speaker click that
and we can say Echo might as well do
something a little different emotion it
says coming soon so that's interesting
it might give us the ability to add
emotions there let's add a co-host so
I'll come down I'll click this plus
button for our co-host here we're going
to make her female I'll pick Shimmer and
then here in block three we're back to
David and I used Echo for that voice
make sure we got that all squared away I
see we have a drop down over here that
says high quality we can have high or HD
quality so we click HD and click create
story and we have to log in if we want
to use HD so let's go back get back to
our story here and we'll drop that we'll
switch that back to high quality create
story oh we have to log in to do that
I've created an account now see if we
can get it in HD optionally it says we
can give the story a name I just called
it rant test one the output format it
says wave is coming soon so MP3 is our
only option it's calculated the audio
duration the voices that we're using and
tells us that some limitations of open
AI this function only works in English
and by clicking the button below we
understand the risks regarding the
quality of the resulting
audio risks oh that took us to the
pricing page so I'm guessing we're
trying to do something that isn't free
free gives us speech from text can
download audio files access to the voice
library and the Premium plan create
speech from text unlimited documents to
speech can download of course create
your own voice voice Library create a
story from text that must be the issue
that's a premium thing no ads and up to
200 megabytes per document and on the
free you have unlimited credits on the
premium you have 200,000 credits down at
the bottom it reveals that a th000
credits is a th000 characters with high
quality voice or 500 characters with HD
quality voice so HD voices are double
the character credits so it looks like
the deal is on the free plan you can do
as much as you want just generating text
one at a time on that first tab but if
you want to create a story or do a
document to speech you're going to need
to be on the premium at six bucks a
month I don't think that's a bad deal I
do wish it would have told us up here
hey this is a premium feature and saved
us the trouble rather than building the
whole thing and then finding out that
it's not a free feature the story maker
looks promising it's similar to what we
have in 11 Labs now with the voiceover
Studio where we can lay out the whole
conversation there on one screen the
document feature here allows you to
upload a document in a multitude of
different formats once you upload the
document select your speaker it'll get
to work and send you an email when it's
been converted so that you can download
your file the voice library right now it
looks like just these six open AI voices
we do have quite a few more system
voices again the rim Ice broke away
before and behind there is an ecstasy
that marks the summit of life he months
came and went in the my voices tab it
looks like this is where we would create
a new voice either by cloning our own
voice or by designing a new synthetic
voice that's a premium feature so I
won't be exploring that one with you all
right let's go back and look at this
input text box since this is the only
place we can work really with a free
plan if you're not logged in you're
using a free account you can enter up to
500 characters in this input text box
that's going to be about a 100 words
once you have created an account you you
can have up to 3,000 characters in this
box roughly 600 words I just went over
to chat GPT and said write me a
paragraph that I can throw in a text to
speech generator to see how it sounds
and this is what it came up with let's
go pick Shimmer for this one I'm not
sure how echko is still selected but
echko stays selected I we'll try it
anyway the quick brown fox jumps over
the lazy dog this sentence contains all
the letters of the English alphabet it
is a beautiful day outside with clear
blue skies and a gentle breeze rustling
through the leaves the town is bustling
with people going about their daily
routines from shopping at the market to
enjoying coffee at the local cafe birds
chirp happily in the background adding
to the peaceful Ambiance of the scene I
think the voice sounded really good
personally I prefer a casual sounding
voice but that's my preference I imagine
they will grow and add additional voices
it looks like they're working on under
that story maker being able to add
emotion I get the feeling that this
website is pretty new and it looks like
there's some potential here definitely
worth keeping an eye on and seeing how
it goes I hope you enjoyed our little
test drive here and I look forward to
seeing you in the next video
