KickBot TTS Changes

This update effects some of official KickBot AI TTS voices.

We wish to update you on some changes regarding the provider of the KickBot AI TTS voices. The provider has informed us that our use of certain AI voices, such as those of SpongeBob, Peter Griffin, Obama, Walter White, among others, does not align with their policy regarding explicit voice cloning permissions.

Consequently, we are moving to a new provider for generating some of our AI TTS voices. This adjustment will specifically affect the official AI TTS voices, such as celebrity and character voices. Custom voices and the standard male/female voices will not be impacted by this change.

Key Points to Note:

• Temporary Voice Unavailability: There will be a brief period during which some AI voices will not be supported. Our aim is to minimize this inconvenience and have all previous voices re-supported within the next 1-2 weeks.

• Introduction of New Voices: We have taken the opportunity to further expand our voice library by adding 25 more official AI TTS voices, bringing our total to 63 official voices, plus dozens of voices created by KickBot users. We are excited about the expansion and look forward to introducing even more voices in the near future.

• Increase to Custom Voice Slots: Premium users will have their custom voice slots increased from 3 voices to 5 voices.

• Quality Adjustments: The transition to a new provider entails a change in the underlying AI model for voice generation. You might notice some differences in quality, but we are committed to providing the best TTS experience and are expecting quality and generation speed improvements in the very near future.
