You should showcase your product better.

Add a text input box so that prospective users can try it themselves.

The audio is anything but high quality!

Please use better compression settings.

The actual text to voice synthesis isn't acutally bad, but the audio quality is terrible. The audio artifacts are so bad I could barely listen to the demo snippets. It's too bad they ruined a quite good product by skimping on the most important quality, audio quality.

I wonder how OP missed this? Audio quality has to be flawless when using headphones for extended times. It's not like you need a lot of bits for audio, so it's not something you save on.

Please fix!
