Been using eleven labs for several years now. I was really impressed with their multilingual model a few years ago.
Since then, they’ve released a few cheaper models, but the quality suffers greatly (they still have the old models though so it’s not an issue). They’ve also been releasing a ton of different products around TTS.
I don’t mean this as a criticism — I just am curious why SOTA TTS has not improved from one model by one company several years ago, and why even said company isn’t able to improve on that model.
