Feature Requests

Feature request for the ability to adjust the speed of generated Overdub audio. Looking for Controls to speed up / slow down the cadence. Ability to adjust the spacing between words and / or phrases.

Have the ability to make the voice excited or emphasise words more

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...

Cedric is a great voice, but needs to be in other styles, like announcer, etc.

Open the API access to give paying users more options outside of Descript and help Descript get more visibility with different use cases (e.g. integrate into applications like GPT connects into other tools and gain even more popularity). Win-win 🙌

Descript now supports transcription in 23 languages, but Overdub only works in English. This feature would bring Overdub support to more languages

Just in case, but so far cant tell while it's in dub: We need to include having exclamations, capitalization, question marks, etc, have their own recorded inputs/outputs. Or at least highlight what you want to have expression/tonality and test around the attitude of a sentence or word.

I'd love to be able to add/remove Studio Sound for portions of files and recordings. An example of when this might be useful is when Studio Sound doesn't have the desired outcome on sections of your recording. I'm working on a project now where I was tapping a book while I said something about it. Studio Sound did it's best to make this sound smooth, but it isn't perfect so it chopped up what I was saying. I don't want to remove studio sound from the whole file, just this 1 or 2 seconds where it didn't quite perform as we'd hope.

I could use a British or Australian female voice of a young woman in her 20s and/or of a woman in her 30s or 40s. An Irish female voice would also be nice.

I want you to support Japanese.
