AI tex-to-speech
We are currently evaluating the trial version of the AI text-to-speech functionality. We are wondering if additional accents will be available in the non-trial version. We also need Vietnamese and Thai; what is the likelihood of those being supported in the future? We tried to use the Czech but seemed to be having issues. Is there a voice in the trial version that we should use to have the best experience?
This is the current list that I found of supported languages:
| Arabic (Saudi Arabia) |
| Arabic (UAE) |
| Bulgarian |
| Chinese |
| Croatian |
| Czech |
| Danish |
| Dutch |
| English (Australia) |
| English (Canada) |
| English (UK) |
English (USA) |
| Filipino |
| Finnish |
| French (Canada) |
| French (France) |
| German |
| Greek |
| Hindi |
| Indonesian |
| Italian |
| Japanese |
| Korean |
| Malay |
| Polish |
| Portuguese (Brazil) |
| Portuguese (Portugal) |
| Romanian |
| Russian |
| Slovak |
| Spanish (Mexico) |
| Spanish (Spain) |
| Swedish |
| Tamil |
| Turkish |
| Ukrainian |
With this list, I am not sure which voices to use as most of the voices available in the trial version seem to have an "American" accent.
Please advise.

Hello MichelleDoyle-a and NatalieBaumstar , in Update 93, we added another model (Turbo v2.5) to our AI TTS feature, and this supports 3 additional voices, mainly Hungarian, Norwegian, and Vietnamese. You can read more about the AI TTS featurehere.
Hi Michelle, we use ElevenLabs for our AI text-to-speech voices and are currently using the Multilingual v2 model which supports the languages you listed above. According to their documentation, these voices can be used to generate audio in any of the languages, even though they are listed with an American accent. It also states that they're working to provide a granular overview of how each default voice sounds in each of the languages and will update that page when it's ready. They currently don't support Thai, but they do support Vietnamese using a different model (Turbo v2.5) which we are not using because it values generation speed over accuracy. But I will note this request as we consider switching to the Turbo v2.5 model or supporting multiple models in the near future.
We would very much be interested in Vietnamese AI voice support as well. Thank You!
My colleague found that on their site, they list Alice for Czech so that's probably the best voice to use for now until they add more.
