"Trusted by 7000+ users and teams of all sizes" [posts a bunch of company logos]

You've just launched in beta, how can you claim this? I'm always very suspicious of this (I take this from the position of being a tech lead at a multi-billion euro retailer who's logo you'll never be able to use)

Is this one developer? A team? Or is this just marketing bullshit for VCs who somehow don't verify if this is true or not?

We launched the playground.play.ht in beta to share the new speech model we are working on. We've been operating play.ht for a while and have teams from these companies using the platform.

exactly. i hate this practice of just spraying logos all over with no context. give me 3 logos but each with a written case study or zoom conversation or even a tweet saying what they use it for and you get more trust than 100 logos

I've used play.ht for a few weeks now, they offer a solid product IMO. Wouldn't be surprised others are using them too
