Thanks! We’re currently using Azure TTS. Our plan is to review every couple months and update to use better voices when they become available on Azure or elsewhere. Elevenlabs is a good candidate but unfortunately they’re ~10x more expensive per hour of narration than Azure ($10 vs $1).
I think the cost per million words measure from the previous version of your comment was also useful to know. Did you replace it because it’s incorrect?

I replaced it because it seemed like a less useful format.
Azure TTS cost per million characters = $16
Elevenlabs TTS cost per million characters = $180
1 million characters is roughly 200,000 words.
One hour of audio is roughly 9000 words.
