"Best AI Voiceover Tool Especially For Indian Voices"
5/5
What do you like best about Play.ht?

So the one thing that sets play.ht apart from the rest is the inclusion of Indian languages and accents which comes really handy when making videos for target specific audience and the the voices don't sound artificial at all like most of the AI generators which have a robotic tone, along with the various features like voice styles,types ,speed changing etc, its a perfect all in one tool for voice over generation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Play.ht?

To be honest, there is not much that I don't like about the tool except maybe giving a manual input box for speed as the soldier tends to make it hard to choose a certain speed as it is small, and sometimes the files don't generate, and I must say this happens in only like once maybe in a thousand times, but yes, these are the two things I don't like especially the speed slider.

"Easy to use and USEFUL"
5/5
What do you like best about Play.ht?

I use Play.ht to generate voices (some characters, some historical figures) for YouTube videos and the selection of nationality, gender, and even emotion with some voices is easily the best value and is super easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Play.ht?

I use Play.ht because I did a pretty thorough tryout of many similar services. I picked Play.ht because I didn't actually see a downside. For the price, it just doesn't have one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very smooth voice creation experience!"
5/5
What do you like best about Play.ht?

Play.ht is straightforward. You know what you are going to get and can see all the prices. You get what you pay for. This service has helped my productivity go up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Play.ht?

I wish the prices for audio creation were a little lower, especially where blogs are concerned. I wish there was a service specifically for blogs where your website can be covered for a monthly premium. I understand with video it can be per word but I feel like because blogs are used to populate a brand, there is so much content, that the premium for that kind of need should be based on website instead of word count, just where blogs are concerned. But the service is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Super Fast Support. Superior AI Voices"
5/5
What do you like best about Play.ht?

The voices add to a podcast Im working on as helpful secondary voices for commercials and intros. The premium voices are extremely realistic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Play.ht?

Some voices still sound a little mechanical in the tones. But I'm not complaining. I've heard worse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing Product and Fantastic Service"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Play.ht?

I have reviewed and used half a dozen TTS services in the last 6 months for a unique project I am working on. And without a doubt, the usability and the interface of Play.ht is a home run. When creating a complex multi-voiced project, having flexibility and ease of use is extremely rare. This is especially true in an industry as new and moving as fast as the text-to-speech industry.

Also, their support has been second to none. Responsive, helpful, and knowledgeable. I am rarely impressed with text and chat support systems but Play.ht is top-notch.

ut somehow Play.ht has been able to combine high-quality voice technology with what is without a doubt the best UI in the industry. In my opinion, they will come out on top when this market shakes out, and this is for two reasons.

1. Funding

I don't know their funding situation but based on the quality of their website, they appear to be well funded and bigger than they may actually be. Which is part of the roll of a great interface.

2. Its ALL about the Usability

As someone who has played a role in product marketing for multiple billion-dollar software companies, the key is not just a good product but marketing and creating a product the end user can and enjoys using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Play.ht?

My biggest complaint is there terms of service. When purchasing an annual contract they do not allow for refunds of any kind. This goes against their level of support which is odd. In a market that is changing every day, I would be very concerned about purchasing any annual contract at this stage of the market development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Play.HT is an essential part of my blogging workflow and one of my favorite publishing tools."
5/5
What do you like best about Play.ht?

The voices are great. I particularly like Jennifer, but there are many good voices. I also love the ease of getting AI text reading recordings into my blog posts. Additionally, the podcast feature is excellent, allowing podcast listeners to find my content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Play.ht?

I wish there was more control over the podcast feature, so I could edit the podcast description and episode descriptions myself. I also would like it if adding voice readings to blogs could be automatic, though this is not a major issue at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Realistic and natural AI voices"
5/5
What do you like best about Play.ht?

I have been using Play.ht since 2019. Initially, there were a few bugs, but the functionalities and interface improved over time, and now the experience is flawless. The support has been very helpful and quick with any issue, and the CEO himself often helped me, which shows the dedication behind this project.

I create hundreds of audio yearly. They are all saved in the dashboard, and you may download them at any time. I recommend using the AI voices as there is a noticeable difference with the standard ones, and they sound very realistic and natural.

It is possible to edit the audio files as many times as you want, which is of primary importance to me as I need to update them over the months. In total honesty, I can recommend this tool if you want to create audios for any kind of work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Play.ht?

Considering my usage scenario, there are no problems with the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good text to speach, straight forward useage"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Play.ht?

Good collection of voices overall, voice styles gives the most added value.

Straightforward interface, not too crowded.

The software is updated well. I like the addition of new voices.

I think the ultrarealistic voices are the best by far, my budget does not allow this subscription at this time.

I hope some of this gets available, or maybe I can add this in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Play.ht?

best voices are in a pricing plan that is quite pricy

multiple speaker function could be more user friendly

experiencing some stuttering and silence in preview mode Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great solution for e-learning voiceover"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Play.ht?

Play.ht has helped my team save money and improve our delivery times by providing quality, realistic voices on an easy-to-use platform.

It has proven especially useful for languages other than English (e.g. French Canadian), which are harder to come by. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Play.ht?

The most recent additions to the voice palette are fantastic, and we're eager for it to be extended beyond English to jump onboard. However, I would rather have a more straightforward way to use them other than switching subscription plans. Its easier to justify the use of more credits than to search for approvals for a tier upgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
