speechelo.com Reviews

You think you're only buying one product but right after the purchase you find out that you have to buy the more expensive pro version of the product to get the advertised benefit from the product. In addition, the site shamelessly uses fake live conversions so that potential customers get the impression that the product is "really" being bought every 3 minutes.

Avoid this scam!

In addition, the site clearly advertises how customers like the product, but when you read the small print at the bottom of the page, it turns out that these "customer reviews" are completely fictitious.

Click at end of first mp3 download! I used about 660 characters on day 1, to quickly download & compare 14 voices. The usage meter says I used 2,646, 4 times what I used! The promo says the only limit is 700 words per voice over, with no limit on number of VOs. So why are they tracking my usage? Very concerned about this. The bad reviews are correct!

This product is easy to use and works as described. It works best when you follow the instructions as given. For more advanced filmmakers, you can get better results by going straight from short phrases into your video editor. Finally, you have another option of re-recording your audio in your favorite editor to get even better quality out of it. Treat the same way you would live capture narration. Do you have to take this extra step? No. But your production values shoot up if you do so.

The sales process is typical "infomercial" hype and pump - "But there's more..." pressure after you've committed to the purchase. I purchased the basic product and will evaluate it over the next 3 months. I receive frequent emails to upgrade to the PRO version and count it as spam.
Quit acting so scammy and let your customers be your champions. Quit trying so hard and assure that any upgrades add real value...

We are a small business making desalination equipment. We produce advertising videos for our youtube channel, but we simply don't have the money to spend on studio voice overs. Speechelo enabled us to create a voice over for our latest video that sounds like a real person. It is easy to use and once you get used to putting punctuation into the sentences, it sounds realistic.

Be very very careful with this company's website. This website will store your credit card information in the name of future purchases, so NEVER ever directly run your credit card on their website.

Also this website is trying to create some sort of recurring subscription when I tried to pay using PayPal.

Their entire website is shady. Instead of taking one time payment for their BASIC software, they are trying their best to force subscribe you to their PRO software.

Stay away from this website

I am very disappointed in the entire Speechelo experience. I bought the basic package which has very limited voices. You need to upgrade to the Pro version to get decent voices. Additionally, there is a 5000 character max limit with each voice over.

The Website is sketchy, with a constant push to upgrade to Pro.

I am going to get my money back and look for a better product by a more professional company.

Very worried about the reviews I'm seeing here. I did not upgrade and hopefully they won't charge me anymore. HOWEVER, I AGREE THIS IS THE SPAMIEST COMPANY THERE IS. I wonder if they are the same as Humanpal or whatever they are called. the same marketing BS style. Hopefully, it will get better from here but will be very upset if the basic version renewed every so often.

Am surprised to see that there is no option to easily cancel your subscription through the online profile/account mgmt. One can only upgrade and spend more money through the options provided. There is no way to see what type of subscription one has and a link to unsubscribe. Is not a transparent way of doing business. is it now? Why should someone raise a ticket, attach receipts etc? too much of an overhead created for the customer. No other good websites take this approach. There are no reminders of an impending deduction either, especially when there is no facility to cancel the subscription online.

Speechelo offers a one-time price but neglects to tell you that your subscription is very restricted and that you need to subscribe to gain all of its benefits.
You get trapped into a funnel of extra costs to gain benefits.
Avoid getting trapped. Don't sign up.
I'll be reporting this to NSW Fair Trading.

I gave four start and not five, because in my opinion only a few voices are good natural sounding, but a few is better than none.

I have used Speechelo software to turn my website into a talking website, and very happy with the results.

However, I am not happy with the limit of characters you can transfer into sound in one month and their system of setting your account back to zero is totally stupid. For that reason I don’t use it anymore and the company kindly refunded my money.


Thank you.

I'm using the basic speechelo and find it adequate for my needs. There's only one female US English option, which is disappointing, but it works for me as I don't use it for all my videos. The software is very easy to use. You do get a lot of sales emails, but I've actually purchased Videly and Lingo Blaster and am happy with these purchases as well. These were one-time purchases so I'm hoping I don't have the billing problems some have reported. I would, however, recommend this app if you need an occasional basic AI voiceover.

They tried to rip me off. On their website it says one time payment. And after one year they asked{via paddle . net} for another 47usd saying my subscription is expired. Luckily, I canceled my credit card on PayPal and contact paddle chat bot to cancel "subscription". Because you can't do that on official speechello website. For the software I would give 3 star. it's not bad, but nowadays there are lot better solutions.

I did not think much about this text-to-speech program until I had to look at then need to know how to continue my videos with me having THROAT CANCER and losing the ability to speak coherently in my videos. Then I checked out SPEECHELO. I was truly amazed and at present just use the standard starter unit. I love it and writing the script instead of winging it by ad-lipping it has opened up a new era for me and my Hobby videos for Peasville. Thank you to the inventors.

I wish I had visited Trustpilot before buying this stupid software. Speechelo is run by a group of thieves and mafia groups who only see the dollar but don't provide any value. Everything they offer can be easily obtained free of charge on other platforms.
Speechelo does not know the meaning of refunds. They only know how to charge one's credit card.
They are thieves. Do not buy.
They used a deceptive ad to lure buyers and then they pass you through a series of upsells with hidden prices and when you finally realise you have been duped, they will begin to make all kinds of offers and give reasons why they cannot refund.
Help protect unsuspecting buyers from these filthy criminals bound for everlasting hell.

I am using Speechelo in the PRO version and especially using the French voices. If the standard voices sound a litlle bit "robotic" the IA versions are clearly a must have and high above. The results are very natural and can be tweaked to desired tone.
adding background music also raise the bar!
Support team is very quick and efficient i recommend 100%. Clearly worth the money .

I was a bit skeptical at first, but this does everything I wished it did. The English and French voices are amazing and every voice variation feels natural - not forced like it is on other similar tools I tried before.

Speechello exceeded my expectations and I use it daily since I got my access 6 months ago.

I assume this is the best product you can get momentarily but the speech (German in my case) is still not natural enough. The part I'm missing is (to say it with Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah) "the major lift, the minor fall". Often the outcome sounds very different from what I would expect to hear if a real person reads the text that I feed into Speechelo.
