the voice is good, but it's not good as elevenlabs level, elevenlabs voice can have different intonation according to text and punctuation (very good for roleplay chatbot). open ai voice is similar to micosoft edge tts which you can use it for free.

So excited for this. I hope they come out with a nice zeroshot cloning model to use that is at a similar price point.

That chat assistant in your own example sure did use a lot more words than necessary :P

Your face at 7:55 🤣

Looks exciting, keen to see where it goes from here. As always, interested to see if they make any advances with accents.

First time catching your content Jarod... great Video. Easy subscribe. In reading the comments, I noticed many users are finding the limitations of OpenAi's software. Like anything else, early adopters/users of new technology share in the often painful growth of such tech while its development matures and evolves. For many though, they see this as a 'glass' half empty, rather than half full... either way, in my humble opinion, our future looks bright.

I saw your tortoise TTS video. What's the best AI voice right now is it? heard to use Tortoise TTS then rvc voice.

well for Turkish I can say it sound like non native speaker talking but not bad.
to explain it: In native Turkish speakers, words tend to flow more smoothly, whereas non-native speakers often have a tendency to place more emphasis on words. The situation here is the same. That is to say, it's quite good but for someone whose native language is different.

Not really clear where OpenAI want to go with this being so late to the party. I've been using EdgeTTS, Piper and looking forward to your 11Labs replacement - can't really see why I would pay OpenAI to use this one.

And what about streaming? Could you get audio responses until full text generation?

I tried on spanish, my native language, and honestly it's pretty good. Only issue is all voices speak like an american with a USA english accent. The better is one is Nova, very little accent.

[kaeuzita]

The AI speaks other languages like an American trying to speak other languages. The accent lol

[andreimariano]

I am a native Filipino speaker and I would say Open AI always know how to play their cards even with multilingual tts.

Really excited for this.

cool video ! how did you write in japanese like that at 7:38 ? I'm learning japanese but find it difficult to write without another virtual keyboard

[rickarroyo]

09:29 - In Portuguese it doesn't sound like Brazil or Portugal, it sounds strange 😑
But your like is guaranteed :))

[juancalara]

Interesting! is there a way to add this to a custom GPT?

[bobbyboe]

german = bad
french = bad
italian = bad
the voice in your app = very good 😊
I wonder if you enable your audiobook-app to speak german... and make it installable for non-coders like me 🙏
I would like to train my own voice and be able to do recordings without setting up my audio-setup.

How can I add any voice, for example voice from marvel iron man and any persons ?

[tacototo]

Dutch was all right, but pronounced "eten" (eat) incorrectly. Nontheless this is amazing

[mythaimusic]

I played with the API yesterday and let me tell you that I have a nearly perfect french with it. I tried every voices and they all are nearly perfect with just a (very) slight English accent here and there. That's far from your demo where the french speaking is horrible, so I guess that's because it is speaking several languages in the same prompt ?!?

[SpudHead]

Android only so far for the chatGPT tts?
