I'd love to love one of these explainer video services, but it seems like it really is hard to make good video with all I've tried. I wish someone had a good review of all the different offerings. Anyone have experience with animaker?

Looks like they're using the Ivona engine/voices via Amazon Polly.[1][2] Not sure why this is news?

When I wanted to solve this problem for a project I wound up going with mespeak.js. It's self-hosted and there are plenty of tuning options and preset voices you can use. http://www.masswerk.at/mespeak/

The pricing table doesn't make much sense to me.

No 'commercial rights' for the 'startup' pricing plan of $19/month? What would a startup do with non-commercial rights?

Hi Kranner, Here the commercial rights in video means you can't sell videos to other companies. If you are a startup you can use it for marketing & promotions without commercial rights.

Thanks for explaining. It would make sense to clarify this in the pricing table as you might be turning customers away.

Yes already shared with the Team to relook on the same. Thanks.

looks like there are only 8 american voices, with 2 of them being children. Most still sound pretty robotic. I could really use a a good TTS solution for training video creation at my company.
