Tiktok and acapella voices don't work

ohidin avatar Dec 09 '23 15:12 ohidin

I can fix TikTok but what is the issue with Acapela? They are still working when I try them.

I get an param error when I press Say it.

Ah yes I see now it looks like it's only happening on certain voices. This usually means they've removed the voice so if that's the case there won't be anything I can do to fix those affected.

Premium voices are not working from Acapela. The children and emotive voices are removed

Can you try to fix it?

WaleedAnimate2020 is correct it's all the child an emotive voices that no longer work. I note that they have also been removed from Acapela's own demo website. I suspect they are now exclusively available only to those who purchase credits for their API access. I'll look into it, but if that's the case then it's highly unlikely I'll be able to get those voices working as it'll almost certainly be prohibitively expensive to do so.

Aw, well RIP

I've just removed all the emotive voices as it would appear they are indeed permanently paywalled.

Interestingly, in my testing I found that most of the child voices work again, even though they are no longer on Acapela's demo website. Kenny and Nelly were the only ones that didn't work and which I removed.

A handful of other foreign language voices didn't seem to work but are still on the demo website (not working there either) so I left these as I think it could be an intermittent. I'll leave this issue open for the time being so feel free to leave a comment if you find any Acapela voices working or not working. Hopefully we can figure out which ones are permanently gone.

Can you add Thijs and Merel voices on Acapela please? They are Children voices in Dutch language
