Make the language specific stock voices (next to English) available when generating speech (and not only when dubbing).
Wim Vancauwenberghe
Please make it possible to also select the language specific stock voices for generating speech. Optionlally the basic language of a project should be selectable (not only english) and this could trigger making the recommended AI stock voices of that language available for use.
For example, when generating Dutch texts, the currently available stock voices unfortunately all generate speech with English accents. However, when translating and dubbing Enlish text to Dutch, it's possible to select the voice 'Sem', which works excellent in Dutch. It should be possible to also select Sem (and the other language specific voices available when dubbing) in the standard list of stock voices for generating text in the first place. Now I need to generate the text twice (once in bad dutch and once with dubbing), doubling the use of the scarcely available speech generation and dubbing time...
This solution should be quite straightforward to implement...

Increase available dubbing time + make available the language specific voices in speech generation
Wim Vancauwenberghe
For some reason, language specific voices (eg Erik in German) are only available when dubbing and not when generating text. The quality of the speech generated with language specific voices is much higher than the standard voices. These are excellent in English but not in the other languages we are using (Dutch, German, French, …).
As a result I need to first generate the text with a standard voice and then create a dubbed version in order to get a good result. This means we need to use twice of the number of resources that shpuld be needed to get a good result. On top of that, the dubbing time is limited to 2 hours in the business plan. This is simply not enough for the projects I am working on.
There are however 5 hours of availble for speech generation using the generic voices. Would it be possible to make these hours also usable for dubbing? That would already partly the problem.
The real solution would be off course to make available the language specific voices in the original speech generation.
I am really feeling discriminated here as a non native english user...
