Thank you for a very easy to follow video. It's to the point, well explained. Also a big thank you for putting the sample code for us to cross reference to. If someone who is visually impaired can follow your videos without any difficulty, then anyone can! Once again, a big THANK YOU from me!

[gustephens]

Brilliant, thank you so much, I have decent coding skills and it still took me quite some time to find an example of someone actually doing it from txt to running the program

thank you for the tutorial, before I found this video I asked Chat GPT and got a lot of errors and took almost 2-3 hours. but here I learned again in just 10 minutes. you are amazing sir.

Thank you so much, no other videos code worked for me! You're a lifesaver!

Very pleased I found your {straight to the point}{no waffle} channel :-)

Short succinct and to the point. Thank you!

I just wanted to say that, as someone who isn't much of a programmer, you do a really good job of explaining this stuff and thank you.

Hi, I thought your video was great and your explanation is great!
I don't understand why when I play the audio through Python it runs correctly but when I save the file the voiceover ends before, I'm using the endpoint with voice_id ending. Do you know what might be happening?

Hello, I was wondering if you could help me with my following scenario. I am getting a ValueError two times and was wondering if you knew the cause of it. First one looks like this: "f"Voice '{voice_str}' not found.". The second value error is "Voice 'Bella' not found. I installed using pip3 and I have tried putting the code into both Visual Studio and TextMate. I am running it in the terminal as well. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much 🙂❤
I will change my voice soon 😎

The decrease in stability will bring in the wonkiness, for lack of a better word. It is better suited for your own voice samples where you can see the levels of excitement and guttoral noises like filler words and sounds. The default value keeps it monotone. I feel the best samples are conversations or interviews. My question now is how will I move this to my DID model so I can animate my avatar. I suppose I can use the same procedure and pump the generated audio to the D-ID.

I have used elevnlabs in the past but never the python api, so dont you need a api key for this to work?

[neptosuprananas]

Hello, the save method isn't working for me

[Nick-kpiw]

Great vid! Thanks! Do you have one in the works for instant clones or recommendation on approach?

[railgundotenc]

Where do I get the model ID for voice lab voices. For example I got one from the voice library and saved it. How do I use it now

[HackersAcademyHQ]

Im getting a problem where elevenlabs has no attribute 'generate'. Could this be the wrong python version?
