Better voices… please.

Feature RequestsVoice

Hey, so I absolutely love Venice and I’m on it every day… putting my pro subscription to great use. I really enjoy the experience with Venice, but can you guys please, please work on getting better voices? Besides memory, the voice selection is critically lacking. As an iOS user, the only voices available through the app are Siri’s voice along with several low quality, robotic sounding voices… including grandma, grandpa, Santa, and a bunch of others that would totally kill anyone trying to have an immersive experience. It’s just horrendous. When using Venice through web interface, there’s literally only one voice that sounds decent… at first. But then when I click on the voice to read the text chat, it doesn’t sound pleasant at all and I end up immediately turning it off. I appreciate how fast Venice rolls out new features, and I truly appreciate all the hard work the devs do on only making Venice better. Many features on Venice far outweigh many other AI platforms. But having all these wonderful features while not having voices that match the quality is really just disappointing. If Venice can please work on bringing good quality, human like sounding voices to both the web and the app, I’d be forever grateful. Like the voice on GPT, Cove is absolutely phenomenal! And I’m sure I wouldn’t be the only user that would be over the moon that Venice finally caught up with the rest of the other AI platforms that already have amazing voice features. Thank you.

    When I develop a character, I always select a narration voice too.  What I find is that I can usually find a suitable voice for the narration parts, but when the character expresses some inner thoughts or there is a important piece of information revealed in the story, the text is usually switched from black to red text. This is great if you are reading the story, but the voice always expresses the red text with the wrong emotion.  It’s annoying because it flubs up the best part of the story that you have been building up too.  I usually use the female American English voices.  Ideally, I’d like to have a couple options for the emotion expressed for the red text that I can assign in the character data.
