After two months into my lip-sync animation i decided yesterday to do a voice over with elevenlabs… they won’t let me anymore. I didn’t use their service recently but i used to login with my google-account. Last week google deactivated my account too, saying i’m a bot and they wanted my phone. Maybe it’s related. Anyone experienced this too?
This is the message from 11labs:
“Unusual activity detected. Free Tier usage disabled. If you are using proxy/VPN you might need to purchase a Paid Plan to not trigger our abuse detectors. Free Tier only works if users do not abuse it, for example by creating multiple free accounts. If we notice that many people try to abuse it, we will need to reconsider Free Tier altogether. Please play fair. Please purchase any Paid Subscription to continue. Update subscription?”
Bummer, assholes with botnets ruin stuff all the time. Are there any alternatives you could run locally? I don’t really know much about voice synthesis but I think most OSes support some form of text to speech at least.
There are local ones but far away from the speed and quality of elevenlabs right now.
