Not sure anyone will see this but I started using a few Screaming Bee products and audacity in combination to put an audio book together. There is a personality add on for scriptvox that helps make voices sound natural up to a degree anyway. There is also a plugin for MorphVox that can lay down enhancements on audiotracks by assigning actors. There are bugs with the vst plugin so I would advise against but I am overall pleased. It took about 3 minutes to render 17 mins of audio. also MorphVox can integrate with ScriptVox to do live voice overs over different sections of script. Even if all you have is one good Voice it can be made to sound like multiples.  http://screamingbee.com/

A couple of tts options are Amazon Polly and Voicery. These voices can be used commercially but Voicery also offers voices created by a third party in their collection.. I think these third party voices could be used commercially but may require attribution.

Would there be any way to eliminate the voices in question but keep this tts service up and running with the "safe", royalty free voices? Even if we could use less than a third of the voices, that would be better than nothing..I notice that the voices of the tts website have already been reduced, but it's still usable. Sorry if I'm just showing my ignorance on the matter.

If this is not possible, I hope there is plenty of advanced notice before the tts website is shut down.

Thank you

Well, i finally purchased the TTS On-demand service, hoping i could use it from time to time.
But i was so annoyed by its limitations that i actually never used it :(

Any videos you created using these voices do not need to be taken down. The licensing issues refer to future licensing of the voices.

If this tts service is being shut down due to licensing issues, then hadn't we better not use these voices at all any more? And what about the animations we have created and posted already that have these voices? Will we be required to take them down? That's not a pleasant thought. I know it's hard to find good quality royalty free voices so I hope someone will be able to come up with some sort of cost effective alternative.

Thank you

The date for the complete closure of this service has not yet been finalised.

At this time we are not accepting any new purchases but existing minutes can still be used up. It probably would be wise to use them as soon as possible though.

Unfortunately due to licensing issues, the service is being discontinued. At this time there are no immediate plans for a replacement..

A clear answer is required. Just what is the situation regarding acquired TTS "credits", how long will they be valid?
