Google Cloud Speech-to-Text API integration #161

Please consider adding alternatives APIs. 11 Labs are AWESOME but also expensive

I was going to suggest the same thing - Eleven Labs is great but you burn through the credits soooo fast - especially when using something like this. Connecting to the Google Cloud TTS would still afford great quality but much better pricing for using it. This would be a really awesome addition for sure.

I am still waiting for a balanced alternative. I am currently using the best I could find from the offers from Google. It still distracts me when it sounds too robotic. Any suggestions?

Well the google voices that work with their cloud to speech service sound very realistic natural and human like - and the service is far less expensive and gives you way more credits for free each month. it has a similar API setup like Eleven Labs

here's a link - you can hear some of the voices

its' much better sounding that the google voice that you currently have - because it's AI generated...

Really love your project - it's awesome - I love using it! I just don't like the robotic voices - Eleven is great but I run out of credits far too fast.

thanks again so much!

I am so dumb! I have been using the Wavenet version for about a year 🤦🏻 the Neural2 is much better and even better is Studio and PolyGlot
