I have a use case for a niche audience:

The videogame Final Fantasy XIV has a lot of text. A LOT of text.

Someone has made a plugin to pipe text to external tts services, or a websocket. You talk to characters in game and hear the dialog read by the tts.

For whatever reason, amazon poly only exposes middling quality voices to the plugin. And I'd rather not have an active AWS account for just this use case.

ElevenLabs is supported by the plugin, but their service isn't really about tts and I'd have to pay the $220/yr tier to unlock further "pay as you go (per character)" with a budget of 100,000 characters per month. A bit steep for using it only for in this one game.

If someone could help plumb AudiowaveAI to this plugin, I'd gladly turn off AWS for this!

It’s OpenAI TTS, replacing the API endpoint should be pretty easy

It’s similar quality to 11labs but 10x cheaper

Thanks so much yeah a few people asked for an API to make it easy too. Added it to my list of TODOs :)
