There are several arguments against moving towards this solution. For example, videos become less personal, and they feel “cheap”, in a sense. However, it is hard to argue against the pros: for example, the amount of time saved, more clarity pronunciation-wise than me recording in the middle of the night. Processing is quicker as well, there are no background noises to remove, breathing sounds to cut, errors are minimal, assuming the script is fine.
For this purpose, I have tried to replace the voicing of my latest video about the F-4E with AI TSS. I had to squeeze it in, as I did not want to change timings, music, slides and so on, so the final result can be improved. That being said, I do not think the outcome is too bad. It can be improved by using markup, adjusting pauses, and changing how acronyms are written, to have the AI read them better.
The most interesting part is that it took me only 15 minutes to upload the script, generate the TSS file and adapt it to the previous video.
Since going forward and for the next few months I will have even less time than usual, the alternative is removing voicing altogether, moving back to writing only articles, or slowing down the production of videos.
I am looking forward to your feedback!

Hi,
Even if I prefer real voice recording, I have to admit you managed to publish a nice result, above average AI speech. I guess it’s better than no video.
If you find the time, I would be interested into what service and setting did you use to get such result ?
That would be for mission making 😇
Thanks 👍🏻

Thanks, I have not done any major tweaking to the voice, just added a bit of pause here and there, since the video and timings were already done.
I checked a few solutions, and I did not want to pay money until I am confident this is a valid road to follow. Eventually, I used https://ttsfree.com. It’s very straightforward, although the free version does not support markup, which would help with spelling and emphasis.
I hope this helps!
