AI Voices

Just my two cents, AI Voices were good because we didn't need to go back to our live voice to get something redone, or if we wanted to update 1 slide or add something to a presentation. Now we are seeing voices being removed so the advantage of the AI voices is reduced. I see 2 posts this morning and it's not even lunch time from people that need to make updates to 1 or 2 slides, change a word, or add something and the voice is gone. 

Maybe we need to look at AI again.

    Thanks for sharing that post Jonathan, it appears the voice I used is on that list.

      Unfortunately a couple voices I've used in some modules were as well. I guess ElevenLabs made an announcement on their website, but how are SL users supposed to just know that? Definitely a bummer.

  • This was also posted 5 days ago. Not sure when update 104 happened, but apparently that's when the change was made.

      The update occurred this morning. Posting only on this site was not effective communication for such a big change.

  • Agreed. Same thing just happened to me about an hour ago. As IDs/devs, consistency is huge. And having to completely redo the audio on every slide in a module because the voice you were using was removed for some reason is a huge hassle.

    I agree, I also needed to make an update to a slide using an AI voice that has just vanished from the library today. No notice... this is not a reliable tool for developers.

    Yet another risk to mitigate on top of everything else.

    Arrghhh...I just sent in a ticket for this! I had a male voice and now it defaults me to a female. And I'm in the middle if my project!!
