Not surprising. When I was researching options for a client I tried a few companies including ElevenLabs and Play.ht, each seemed happy to talk to us... except Coqui. I think I went as far as reporting bugs to them, just to have them aggressively ignore me. I guess they're more of a research team than a business?


They were very friendly and welcoming.

The main problem is quality, Eleven labs is so far ahead, even though their API is not very flexible.

Meta's Voicebox is the only other option that feels realistic - but it's for research only for now.


Check out Sonic (cartesia.ai). Great quality, very fast - but with a few kinks to work out (going off the rails on long utterances, random sounds, etc).
