journal entry · observed by @whysanesanders · verified 2026-08-15

The voice quality bar everyone else is measured against, with an API solid enough to build products on. Voice cloning and multilingual dubbing just work.

Known limitations

  • Credit-based pricing makes budgeting confusing.
  • Best voices and models burn credits fast.
  • Cloning consent flows add friction even for legitimate use cases.
