ElevenLabs is pretty much the premiere AI voice transcription service. It's pretty wild.
I’m as anti “AI” as they come but there’s a master Japanese carpenter on YouTube, Shoyan, who goes through the trouble of translating his commentary to English, someone proofs it because the grammar is usually perfect, and then runs it through a comforting racially ambiguous old man voice from ElevenLabs I think. And honestly? It works really well. It’s obviously not a natural voice but it’s not fake enough to be disorienting or annoying like the early types were.
Yeah, but is there anything that's not >$100/month to transcribe one book worth of audio?
