It's been a slow week in terms of news and therefore posts but I suspect that as we get towards Q4 that there will be a last burst of news about new and updated models as well as updates to popular tools which extensively use AI technology. Personally, I'm definitely looking forward to MacWhisper 13 and MiniMax M2 releasing in the coming week

Hi friends! Helena here - CEO of Fish Audio.

We’re excited to launch Fish Audio S1, the most expressive and natural TTS model on the market.

6x cheaper than elevenlabs

20K active developers

5M ARR (real ARR)

Fish Audio is the first model that can clone the nuances of human speech, including accent, timbre, and speaking habits, all while being expressive, emotional, and emphatic (with just 10 seconds of audio).

With all the AI slop going over our heads, it’s more important than ever to be human-first. We are taking the lead by making sure AI voices can capture the tiniest nuances of all the diverse voices out there. Our voices can feel, empathize, and connect.

We are so thankful to the Product Hunt community for supporting us along the way. 

We are giving 50% OFF to all subscriptions. 

Just use the promo code attached to this launch. 

Promo Code:   PH-FishS1

As always, we open-sourced our S1-mini model on Github and Huggingface. Join us in testing and shaping the future of human-centered AI voice!
