DF Dominique F. CEO Entertainment Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/29/2023 "Absolutely next level, "the future is here" technology" 5/5 What do you like best about Play.ht? I don't even know where to start. There is so much that I like about play.ht, I'll try not to make this too long. I first sought out to find a solution to clone my own voice so that as an audiobook narrator, when I got sick and sounded nasal or lost my voice due to laryngitis, it wouldn't stop me from creating new work. What I got instead, was a mind-blowing look into what's available and possible today. The technology they use and the intuitive way that the AI interprets the text is so stunning and smart, that with a few clever tweaks on the side of the user, anyone can make themselves sound smooth and professional even if they are not outstandings speakers. Admittedly, I had an advantage because I was able to upload 20 or 30 hours of high quality recordings with no background noise due to the fact that I'm already an audiobook narrator and I worked hard to get this clean body of work. Learning the little quirks and pro tips of how to make the system work better was like getting to know a new friend. What it likes, what it doesn't like. And because it gave so much back to me, I worked hard to give it what it liked best. Play.ht prefers short paragraphs. It prefers numbers spelled out. It prefers periods over commas. In fact, the only time you should use a comma is for lists. The system is smart enough that it knows when to put the pauses in because it understands syntax so well, it renders the sentences just like a person would. If for some reason, you're not crazy about how one sentence turned out, you can hit the button and render it again and it will come out different each time. Sometimes putting a word in all caps will emphasize it. There are so many other tips and tricks that I could give, this review could go on for days. Suffice it to say that I have had so much fun learning how to make play.ht work for me that I now feel like an expert since I can use it to crank out finished, flawless audio faster than I could read it manually. It's been a game changer for my audio book narration. I still sometimes can't believe that it works as well as it does. And when it doesn't, I love the challenge of getting it to do what I want it to because it just means that I have to figure out how to communicate what I want which is usually just tweaking the text. One example is the name Phoebe. It read the name Phoebe and it sounded so funny because it read it phonetically. So instead, I did a global replacement in the entire text and I spelled it Feebee. And it worked perfectly. It's important that you be able to change the text that you give it to read. Remove all exclamation marks. Even some question marks should be removed because play.ht will make it sound better without the punctuation. Try it both ways and see what you like. Overall, this technology is worth its weight in gold. I am so thrilled that I discovered it. It is head and shoulders above any of its competitors which I also checked out. I am sticking with this for the long-term. When I play samples for other people and tell them that this is my voice, but I did not read this, people say, "oh that's so scary." I laugh because I understand what they mean. It feels like science fiction but we've arrived. It's a great time to be alive. I've always wanted to clone myself I n order to get more done and I finally got my wish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Play.ht? There's very little I dislike. Twice while creating custom voices on the best plan possible, the system got stuck in the cloning process and after a few months, it still says that it's cloning. I don't mind because I just breeze past those voices that still show in progress and go to the voices that are already complete. The fact that I can upload a voice of myself doing an Australian accent and have the system crank out any dialogue with me speaking in Australian accent is so amazing and incredible that scrolling past few unnecessary items in my dashboard is really the least of my worries. I would not have even written this except that there was a prompt about what I specifically disliked. Maybe if there was a lifetime price, I would buy it even if it was thousands of dollars. That's about the only other thing I would improve and for early adopters of the technology, it would be kind of a nice perk. Eventually, everyone is going to embrace this incredible technology. At least I hope they do! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Play.ht solving and how is that benefiting you? The business problems that play.ht solves for me is that it is able to perform something called pickups for audiobook narrators. Sometimes when I am narrating an audiobook, the audio will glitch or have a little hiccup and the finished product sounds bad. I need to redo one sentence only in an entire hour of recording. If anyone has ever tried to do this, I don't need to tell you how difficult it is to set up all your equipment and try to get the exact same room sound and tone of voice that you had when you recorded it the first time. However, play.ht gives me a perfect pick up if I just insert the sentence that I want to replace. I download that sentence and paste it in to my audio editing software and what used to take me an hour now takes me 5 minutes. If that. And it's perfect every time. And no one can tell the difference. Sometimes, not even me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sales Director Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/20/2022 "The Best AI Voice Software we ever found" 5/5 What do you like best about Play.ht? We searched for a very long time for software that doesn't sound robotic in Polish. Finally, we found Play.ht The software, or the entire platform, allows us to manage our audio/video projects. We can create voiceover recordings, group them into projects and keep them on the platform if necessary for the future. The voices are of very good quality. There are many possibilities for modifying the text, which affects how the lector speaks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Play.ht? I would like even more different voices in Polish, especially realistic ones. We have many projects and would like to have more variety. The dynamics and accents of Polish voices do not always match the character of our projects. We would like even more possibilities to modify the text to express more emotions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Play.ht solving and how is that benefiting you? Play.ht gives us the ability to quickly create voice-over recordings for movies. We can create several minutes of high-quality recordings in a few minutes without having to work with audio lectors in the studio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Digital designer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/1/2022 "A great selection of voices and intuitive interface" 5/5 What do you like best about Play.ht? I am really enjoying using play.ht, there are so many voices to choose from, with lots of choice of accents, meaning you can find something to cover lots of different scenarios. The process is very quick and easy – I can edit the wording, correct mistakes, and adjust the tone as I go. I have projects saved in folders so that I can easily find and return to pieces of audio if corrections or edits are required at a later date. Altogether I am really impressed, and would really recommend it as a useful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Play.ht? The only negative is when you want to have multiple characters/voices in the same audio file, it is harder to manage the audio as each paragraph needs to be in its own separate box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Play.ht solving and how is that benefiting you? Play.ht is a great platform that helps us bring our stories to life. It has allowed us to introduce voice earlier in our process, at draft stage, so that we can practice the best timing and synchronisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gestión de Proyectos Digitales Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/30/2022 "Stable and realistic text to speech" 5/5 What do you like best about Play.ht? I have tried several text-to-voice tools, and Play.ht is the one that performs better. The reason is that I can work with a large quantity of text at once, and the editor does not give errors and is very fast. Plus, it is friendly to use, even allowing to add team members. Customer service is very attentive as well. Of course, the most critical factor is the quality of the output. And this tool has the highest level that I have found and many different voices with different intonations and accents, so it is possible to get the desired effect for each project. And considering stopping doing the off-voice ourserlves, even in the languages where we are native speakers, as the output is friendly and easy to understand for everyone. Every time fewer people can notice that it has been done automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Play.ht? What I dislike the most is that some features are still in development at the time of writing. For example, importing text from PDF, and hyperrealistic voices are still unavailable for some languages. The good part is that the regular one is probably enough for most projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Play.ht solving and how is that benefiting you? I use both for professional and personal use. For professional use: we create video content or blog content, and use Play.ht to generate the voice files. And for personal use: when I study, I convert part of the text material into voice to listen to it on my way to work or when traveling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
