When using Projects, you have the ability to set specific voice settings for each block or paragraph of your project. These settings are saved for each block and will be used when you generate the audio for that specific block.

However, when you convert the entire project or individual chapters, the system uses the voice settings that have been set for each block. If you make any changes to the voice settings after converting a chapter or the entire project, you will need to press convert once again for the changes to be reflected in the whole book.

It's important to note that the model and quality settings for the project are locked once the project has been created and cannot be changed without creating a completely new project from scratch.

When I hit "Convert," does it convert the entire project or just the chapter that I'm looking at?

When you click the "Convert" button, a window will open where you can choose to convert either your entire project or individual chapters. So, it gives you the flexibility to convert the whole project or just the specific chapter you're working on. After the conversion of either a whole project or individual chapters has finished, you can see these conversions by clicking “Versions” next to either the project or the individual chapters. You can then download the different versions.

How do I listen to different chapters without having to hit the convert button at the top of the screen?

AI-generated Answer for a_stormz

When you're using the Projects feature, you can listen to different chapters without having to hit the "Convert" button at the top of the screen. This is possible through the "Continuous Play" feature. When you play a paragraph, it will continue and play the next one once the first one finishes. This makes it so that you can listen to your audiobook without having to pre-render all of the paragraphs first.

However, if you want to convert the entire chapter in one go, you can click the "Convert" button in the upper right corner. This will open a window where you can choose to convert either your entire project or individual chapters. You can also download the entire project or individual chapters. Even after converting the whole chapter, you can still go back and generate sections of the book that you are happy with before downloading the entire thing. However, if you make any changes, you will need to press "Convert" once again for the changes to be reflected in the whole book, so you can download the entire chapter.

When I hit continous play, it appears to be eating up my alotted characters.

AI-generated Answer for a_stormz

Yes, when you use the "Continuous Play" feature in Projects, it will play a paragraph and then automatically play the next one once the first one finishes. However, this does consume characters from your monthly quota. This is because each time you generate something, characters are deducted from your quota. This includes changing the text and then regenerating, even in Projects. So, using "Continuous Play" will indeed consume your allotted characters.

How can I listen to something that I had already generated without having to consume my characters?

AI-generated Answer for a_stormz

You can listen to previously generated audio without consuming your character quota. If a paragraph has already been generated, indicated by the black bar on the right-hand side of each paragraph, you can simply press the yellow play button on the top bar and it will play that paragraph. This will not consume any additional characters from your quota.

For accessing previously generated files, log in to your account and select 'Speech' in the sidebar. If you're using the 'Simple' mode, you can access your history by clicking the 'History' tab on the left of the screen, next to 'Generate'. If you're using the 'Advanced' mode, you can access your history by clicking the 'History' tab in the panel on the right side of the screen. On narrow screens, the History tab will appear on the left of the screen, next to 'Generate'. You can click the 'Download' button to download any file from your history.

Are the previously generated files the ones that have been converted? I can't seem to view the chapter that I had generated but not converted

AI-generated Answer for a_stormz

When you generate a voiceover for your text in Projects, the paragraphs that have already been generated are indicated by a black bar on the right-hand side of each paragraph. If you press the yellow play button on the top bar and a paragraph has already been generated, it will just play that paragraph without consuming any additional characters from your allotment.

However, if you want to listen to the entire chapter or project without having to hit the play button for each paragraph, you would need to use the "Convert" button. When you click the convert button in the upper right corner, a window will open where you can choose to convert either your entire project or individual chapters. After the conversion of either a whole project or individual chapters has finished, you will be able to see these conversions by clicking “Versions” next to either the project or the individual chapters. You can then download the different versions.

Please note that if you make any changes, you will need to press convert once again for the changes to be reflected in the whole book, so you can download the entire chapter.

I'm looking at the HSTORY tab. And I only see the chapters that I converted. How do I listen to the chapters that were generated but not converted?

AI-generated Answer for a_stormz

When you generate audio for a specific section or paragraph in Projects, it will be indicated by a black bar on the right-hand side of each paragraph. If a paragraph has already been generated, you can simply press the play button to listen to it without consuming additional characters. However, if you want to listen to the entire chapter without hitting the convert button, you can use the "Continuous Play" feature. This will play the next paragraph once the first one finishes, allowing you to listen to your content without having to pre-render all of the paragraphs first.

However, please note that the "Continuous Play" feature will keep generating the next section after the next section, which means it will consume characters from your allotment. If you want to avoid this, you should generate the sections you want to listen to first, and then use the play button to listen to them.

As for the history tab, it will only show the chapters that you have converted. If you want to listen to a chapter that was generated but not converted, you will need to go back to the project and find the specific sections that were generated. You can then press the play button to listen to them.

When you generate audio for a specific section in Projects, it will be highlighted in yellow. Once the audio has finished generating, it will play. Paragraphs that have already been generated are indicated by the black bar on the right-hand side of each paragraph. If you press the yellow play button on the top bar and a paragraph has already been generated, it will just play that paragraph.

However, if you want to listen to the entire chapter without having to hit the convert button, you can use the "Continuous Play" feature. This means that when you play a paragraph, it will continue and play the next one once the first one finishes. This makes it so that you can listen to your audiobook without having to pre-render all of the paragraphs first.

Please note that using the "Continuous Play" feature will consume your allotted characters as the AI will keep generating the next section after the next section. If you want to listen to something that you had already generated without having to consume your characters, you can simply press the play button on the paragraph that has already been generated.

As for your question about viewing the chapters that were generated but not converted, it seems that only the chapters that have been converted can be viewed in the "History" tab. If you want to listen to the chapters that were generated but not converted, you might need to generate them again.

AI-generated Answer for a_stormz

In the Projects feature, you can listen to the paragraphs that have already been generated without consuming additional characters from your quota. These are indicated by the black bar on the right-hand side of each paragraph. If you press the yellow play button on the top bar and a paragraph has already been generated, it will just play that paragraph. However, if you press the button next to the play button, the one with the two circling arrows, it will regenerate that paragraph, which will consume characters from your quota.

If you want to listen to the entire chapter without consuming additional characters, you would need to have already generated the entire chapter. Once the audio has finished generating, it will play. This process is similar to how audio generation works on the Speech Synthesis page.

Please note that if you make any changes, you will need to press convert once again for the changes to be reflected in the whole book, so you can download the entire chapter.

How can I make Eleven Labs speed up the delivery of one sentence in a Chapter?

coarse umbraBOT
#
AI-generated Answer for a_stormz

To control the pacing of the speaker, you can use a writing style similar to that of a book. For instance, if you want the AI to speak faster, you might not explicitly mention it in the text, but the context and the way the sentence is written can influence the speed. Here's an example:

"I wish you were right, I truly do, but you're not," he said quickly.

However, please note that this method is not perfect and the AI might not always interpret the pacing as you intended. It's always a good idea to listen to the generated speech and adjust your text accordingly for the best results.

Are there any prompts I can use so that it doesn't get read out loud?

coarse umbraBOT
#
AI-generated Answer for a_stormz

Yes, there are ways to guide the AI in adding pauses, conveying emotions, and pacing the speech. For instance, to introduce a pause or break and influence the rhythm and cadence of the speech, you can use the syntax <break time="1.5s" />. This will create an exact and natural pause in the speech. Here's an example:

"Give me one second to think about it." <break time="1.0s" /> "Yes, that would work."

Break time should be described in seconds, and the AI can handle pauses of up to 3 seconds in length. However, please avoid using an excessive number of break tags as that has shown to potentially cause some instability in the AI.

To control the pacing of the speaker, you can use the same approach as in emotion, where you write in a style similar to that of a book. Here's an example:

"I wish you were right, I truly do, but you're not," he said slowly.

Please note that the AI will read exactly what you give it. So, if you don't want a certain part to be read out loud, you might need to remove it from the text you provide to the AI.

If I write <QUICK> Will it read the subsequent sentence faster?

coarse umbraBOT

AI-generated Answer for a_stormz

I'm sorry, but the information provided does not indicate that using the tag <QUICK> will make the AI read the subsequent sentence faster. The AI reads exactly what you give it. To control the pacing of the speaker, you can write in a style similar to that of a book. For instance, you can use dialogue tags such as he said slowly. However, you will also have to somehow remove the prompt as the AI will read exactly what you give it. Here's an example:

"I wish you were right, I truly do, but you're not," he said slowly.

This approach is not always perfect since you are relying on the AI's discretion to understand the pacing from the context of the text.
