Beta Testing

The voices use cutting edge AI that that combines naturalness with high responsiveness. However, the voices are still pre-1.0 and are currently only available as beta versions. This means you will still encounter pronunciation errors and other bugs (cf. Known Issues).

The voices are under continuous development, and we recommend you come back regularly, to ckeck for updates.
