They're also still too expensive, and that's creating a lot of opportunity for other players.

Even though ElevenLabs remains the quality leader, the others aren't that far behind.

There are even a bunch of good TTS models being released as fully open source, especially by cutting-edge Chinese labs and companies. Perhaps in a bid to cut off the legs of American AI companies or to commoditize their compliment. Whatever the case, it's great for consumers.

YCombinator-backed PlayHT has been releasing some of their good stuff too.

Kokoro is the best open TTS I've tried.
