Added to that is the fact that, once I had the speech generated, I had the option to download it or to share it. And best of all, I could do these tasks even with the free version. I just loved it\! > > **Cons**: I would have liked to not have additional windows opened to do a project. > > Overall, I can definitely say that pros far outweigh the cons. I have used the tool for small projects on my own and I have enjoyed the process. The tasks are easy to execute and the speech generated has surprised me pleasantly due to its uniqueness and realism. ----- ### "Play.ht - a great product for podcast, voice over" — 5.0/5 > **Brigitte** | *4 January 2023* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: After trying 3 AI-Voices from other dealers, that weren't quite up to the task, I purchased this APP-SUMO Deal more than 6 months ago. I initially tested out one Stack then added 5 additional Stacks two months later. This allowed me to easily add long texts and book chapters for our podcasts. The voices I had previously purchased were very limited in terms of how much text they were able to read. The most important issue for me was also the quality of the premium voices. All dealers using the same basis, but the learning curve seems different. In case of my favourite voices, I don't have much to do. It works for me and I can see the developing progress which this APP makes permanently. It is very stable\! > > **Cons**: With a few simple adjustments, you can easily solve the issue of English words being read in a German text as if they were German. Depending on your text-to-speech voice, simply changing a few settings can ensure that English words sound as they should in a German text. This way, you can ensure a more natural sounding audio and better clarity for your text. > > Play.ht- is the ultimate tool for reading German text according to our preferences. Its clear, natural voices make podcasts sound professional, yet at an affordable price point. With its built-in text editor, you can quickly copy, paste, and edit text, making it an ideal solution for content creators and voice actors. For ultimate accuracy and customization, HT-AI Voice is the perfect text reader for the job. You can listen the results on the following podcast: GfA -Der Podcast or Gut zu Wissen: Online Marketing fuer Beginner ----- ### "It has good Potential, but needs to be solved main bugs." — 2.0/5 > **Fırat Faris** | *14 December 2022* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Play.ht comes with many languages and also many narrators at languages. It has high potential to solve narration issues at videos or articles. But it has few flaws that stops to use app. > > **Cons**: Narration tone rate (speed) has a bug that also development team accepted and promised solving, but unfortunately speed change bug (which makes all app useless) stays at same. After each save, all speed rates fixes to %120 speed for talking. Normally, at natural talking we need to change speeds between %90 to 120. Not all fixed to fast talking as soulless.. :/ > > I had high hopes at beginning but I suggest other alternatives. If you are ok with fast speed play ht can be used. ----- ### "A perfect tool to turn your WordPress text articles to audio" — 5.0/5 > **Philippe** | *8 August 2022* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the editor. It is easy to edit the pronunciation of a word, add a voice for a paragraph. The implementation of the plugin is easy and don’t cause any problem with Gutenberg or Elementor post. You can customize the player for Desktop or Mobile visitors. > > **Cons**: The Podcast feature need to be more flexible. It will be good to have the possibility to choose what articles and their order. > > I run multiple websites and I decide to turn to audio some of my top posts. With this tool, I turn them into audio in minutes. The editor is clear and easy to use. The support is responsive and kind. The player looks good on Desktop and Mobile. ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/1030918/playht) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
