Q: Are you planning to add more European Portuguese voices?
Hey there, nice product, are you planning to add more European Portuguese voices? The current three european Portuguese voices are super robotic. Thanks
A: We're adding some multilingual voices in 1-2 weeks, they'll be able to speak Portuguese. As for specifically european Portuguese, we'll note the feedback here in our plans and consider adding more voices. Thank you!
Hey there Ellis the PT-PT (European Portuguese) is still very robotic and the multilanguage also only knows how to speak in PT-BR, how to force PT-PT? Thanks
Q: I found "Custom Pronunciation", thats looks very mighty, is there a documentation/manual für this mighty option?
Just bought the tier two level and looks like a great product. A few questions
As others have pointed out on appsumo many of have bought text to voice products that looked promising but collapsed. Can you share are you profitable or how close you are and/or if you have investment?
In which location is the data and servers located?
Might you become gpdr compliant in the future?
Would also be great to see more about the overall team and ifyou might have a company or individual LinkedIn pages to share.
A: Lazybird is lean business, we're already profitable long-term due to the low costs of our operations (0 salary, 0 marketing cost). It's sustainable in current state even without any growth or new investment. Our servers are located in North America (Canada, US), managed by AWS and OVH. Our infrastructure are highly optimized and have low costs as well.
Hello, Are you going to add the voice cloning lifetime feature in LTD (Appsumo lifetime deal)? If you are, when? I think most of us here are only after premade style (realistic, cartoonish ect) based voices and custom AI clone features. Video, audio and image assets are bonus. AI clone voices are crucial for us, can you enlighten us when you will offer that?
A: Hey, voice cloning feature has been added but not fully included in the lifetime deal. We added a free bonus package for appsumo users, which adds voice cloning for 3 months for Tier 1 customers, and 1 Year for Tier 2 users. After the bonus runs out, we'll offer an option to purchase the add-on for a small monthly fee, and potentially, a lifetime add-on option.
I know that you have already added, but you also mentioned to someone that you will make it lifetime deal. So, I'm asking, when? Because you are already ending the deal on Appsumo.
This is also very important for me. When I start using the voice clone with Lazybird and next year you ask for 49 $ permonth. Please add a tier with voice clone
Q: About credits.
I started using your tool. And what was my surprise to see that you had deducted my credits, while I had not exported anything. I only did tests (choose the avatar, change the text). Is this normal? I bought two tools here that do a bit of the same thing (Pipio and Spiritme) and the credits are only deducted once the export is done; which seems a bit more normal to me. Thank you for confirming.
A: Looks like you reached us through the live chat already, I'll answer here for others who have the same question: We must count all generated audio including editing ones, because it costs resources to generate anything. Otherwise people will abuse the service (they will essentially have unlimited quota by generating and not exporting anything, other services have gone down due to unlimited quota abuse). That's also why we give really high quotas for the plans, 200,000 for tier 1 and 1,000,000 for Pro, reset monthly. Testing a few things with short text should be negligible in terms of credits compared to these quotas, especially since they are reset monthly.
This would be a deal breaker for me, as AI and users can generate very low quality and make multiple mistakes during testing which require multiple runs to iron out. Credits should be consumed only on final output.
Q: ML Language Specific Questions
Hi,
My question is specific to ML (Malayalam) language.
Are the voices and the audio generated from your tool allowed to be uploaded and used commercially.
Is it possible to clone voice to ML language ?. I understand that voice cloning is available for one year and thereafter for a fee. If ML voice cloning is available, can I know how much is it per month or if available as a one-time addon fee after the free period.
I see that you are adding some voices at the moment based on your roadmap. Are you adding ML voices by any chance in this batch.

Q: Concern About Voice Cloning Feature in Lazybird AppSumo Deal
Hi Ellis, I appreciate Lazybird and the chance to support it early, but I’m concerned about voice cloning being locked behind a subscription after early adopters contributed feedback and testing.
Voice cloning is a standard feature in AI voice SaaS, so limiting it after a temporary free period feels like AppSumo users are funding an early MVP without receiving the full value. While I understand high-cost features may need monetisation, LTD users should at least have a fair, one-time upgrade option instead of a recurring add-on.
Can you clarify if voice cloning will remain accessible to LTD users in some form, or will it require ongoing payments?
A: Hey Marcus. Yes we'll consider a LTD option for the add-on, that's likely on the table, we haven't finalized the price yet. In any case, the addon subscription is going be really affordable, it's going to be only around 5-10 dollars per month or even less.
Hi Ellis, My point are to avoid any form of subscription based for early AppSumo customers and consider instead include an amount of credits for early contributors with different credit packages or pay as you use
Q: Clarification on Licensing Agreements for Celebrity Voices in LazyBird
Hi again, I recently purchased Tier 2 of LazyBird to test the voice quality and came across concerns regarding the licensing of celebrity voices.
Could you clarify whether LazyBird has official licensing agreements for the celebrity voices available in the platform? If not, what legal framework ensures compliance with voice usage regulations?
I'm thinking of creating audiobooks, for short non-fiction books i write, most of the TTS i've tested so far only allow 10k characters at a time, making it very time consuming to generate the audio for a full book. What's the limit on lazybird?
A: Hey, there's no limit on Lazybird for the number of characters right now. You can import an entire document, however, the editor might struggle to run if there are too many blocks (we have plans to improve this but it's not done yet). It's recommended to split your document into chapters (around 20 minutes each) and edit each chapter, we can easily handle that.
A: This is not finalized yet but we'll surely consider this if the economics works out. The subscription plan will be very affordable (less than $10 per month), but we'll consider a lifetime option for this add-on as well.
