Good and Best TTS Modes
Pick the right balance between cost and realism. Good fits most needs. Best delivers extra nuance when it matters at 10x cost.
What changed?
You can now choose between two text to speech modes when producing audio: Good (default) and Best.
- Good: Fast, reliable, natural enough for long scripts at low cost.
- Best: Premium voice generation with richer prosody and emotional nuance.
Why it matters
Creators report common pain points:
- Moments that should feel emotional sounding flat
- Intros and ad reads needing more presence and warmth
- Tone drifting over long episodes
- Mixed language terms or brand names losing correct stress
Good handles these for most use cases. When you need that last bit of realism for high stakes audio, Best is available.
How it works
- Mode is set per episode in the editor.
- Use the Good/Best toggle in the editor header.
- Switching modes removes existing generated audio for that episode and requires regeneration, which uses credits.
- Voices reset to provider defaults after switching. Adjust voices as needed.
When to use each
Use Good for:
- Educational series, explainers, internal training
- Drafts, fast iterations, bulk catalog updates
- Episodes with limited emotional range
Use Best for:
- Trailers, ads, brand intros, launch announcements
- Narrative segments that require tension or empathy
- Final masters for public release
Pricing
- Good uses standard credits.
- Best uses 10x the credits. Choose it only where the extra realism is required.
Getting started
Open any episode, use the Good/Best toggle in the editor, then regenerate lines or select Generate all audio.
