ElevenLabs now offers two free regenerations for Text to Speech (TTS) and Speech to Speech (STS) services, allowing users to tweak voice settings at no extra cost.
ElevenLabs has announced a new feature that allows users to make two free regenerations for both Text to Speech (TTS) and Speech to Speech (STS) services. This new offering aims to enhance user satisfaction by providing the flexibility to make minor voice adjustments without incurring additional costs, according to ElevenLabs.
Details of the Free Regenerations
The free regeneration feature permits users to adjust the voice settings sliders up to two times if they are not satisfied with the initial generation. This initiative ensures that users can fine-tune the output to better meet their expectations.
- The adjustments can only be made to the voice setting sliders.
- The original prompt for TTS or file for STS, along with the voice and model, must remain unchanged.
- The original generation must have been created less than two hours prior to the adjustments.
- Users should avoid refreshing the page after generating the original audio.
- This feature is available only for Speech Synthesis via the website and does not apply to projects or API usage.
How It Works
Upon entering the initial prompt, users will see the 'Generate speech' option. If the resulting speech does not meet their expectations, they can use the free regeneration feature to make necessary adjustments. This move is expected to improve the overall user experience by allowing more flexibility in fine-tuning the generated speech.
Industry Context
In recent years, the demand for high-quality TTS and STS services has surged, driven by applications in customer service, content creation, and accessibility tools. Companies like ElevenLabs are continuously innovating to meet these growing needs. The addition of free regenerations is a strategic move to attract and retain users by offering more control over the final output.
ElevenLabs' new feature aligns well with the industry's trend towards user-centric services. By providing an option to make minor adjustments without additional costs, ElevenLabs is likely to see increased user satisfaction and engagement.
This development comes at a time when other major players in the TTS and STS market are also enhancing their offerings. The competition is intense, and features like free regenerations could set ElevenLabs apart from its competitors.
Overall, this new feature from ElevenLabs is a significant step towards improving user experience and satisfaction in the TTS and STS services landscape.
