Great Affordable Alternative to 11Labs

I used to pay 30$/month on eleven labs. Thanks to this voice cloner I don’t have to anymore. I use this for my voice over videos when I don’t feel like recording my voice. My followers said they can’t distinguish my AI voice from real one.
Best on the App Store
Tech Standard
Solid app worth every dollar, however, updates are needed for 1.8 or 2.0 version1. The ability to turn off speech while generating (the speech lags behind the processing and on longer tasks the audio gets chopped solution so far is muting the audio while generating).2. There should be a way to see if the tts completed the full input. The only reference is the bottom bar and it won’t always go exactly to the end but it’ll show the timestamp stopped meaning its done.3. There’s no way to adjust the pace, tone, or expression (it’ll randomly change expression for a single word).4. Large files will sometimes stop far into the generation and once ready to download the app refreshes and all progress lost. On the other hand if you ran a process before and start a new one it’ll start processing the new input and stop showing the previous completed input with the download option (solution so far for both is to quit and start the app again before starting a new task).5. The tts will sometimes repeat lines just spoken not sure if it always does this, however, there might need to be a second verification in the backend to make sure this doesnt happen.6. If there is a way to process books faster and or pronunciations better this app will be number one for voice clone and tts.Over all very good, additionally the one time payment option is the best compared to other services doing it by tokens. if there’s versions for linux and windows in the works you’ll have no problem keeping the $20 lifetime purchase getting a good return on investment. Also the application icon needs to be updated to the dimensions of apples icons.
• New Lifetime purchase — pay once, own Sonar forever.
• Redesigned paywall with side-by-side plan comparison.
