, Ive bought Tier too and are interested to get more update of the software the plans for the 1) The "Eye Corrector" function that both Descript and BIGvu have as standard functions and
2) Ability to change Change background as they both also have now included?
Is this any plans to include that in Libretto as well soon this year?
3) Will a teleprompter over lay function be included also like they also have?
I just got Tier 2, and yes, you can import videos and edit the transcript (or even automatically remove filler words). The editing features are basic, but you can also normalize and enhance the sound of audio or video. The 30 monthly hours of audio enhancement is a great feature. If you missed out on other LTDs like Xound or Resound, Libretto can do the trick at a lesser cost.
A: Hi, here's our linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libretto-fm The company is pretty new and first launched in mid June on Appsumo. We'll share more info in due time.
Do you have a presence on any socials? If so, may we have the links? Also, May we have your YouTube link as well? And the link to the customer help desk too. Thank you so much. I was looking for a decent alternative to Zoom, and now I think I've found it.
A: Hi, we are not very active on social media yet. Here are some links. https://www.facebook.com/libretto.fm https://www.linkedin.com/company/libretto-fm https://x.com/librettodotfm You can reach customer support via contact@libretto.fm or use the chat box on the website.
Hi, thanks for checking. No updates at the moment. We'll be able to say whether live streaming will be added and the timeline after the upcoming enhancements are complete in mid September.
A: Hi, yes - its not a scheduling tool on its own but more of a scheduling functionality within Libretto which will allow you to plan a recording. You'll be able to create a recording event which will be visible on the dashboard and which you can add to your Google Calendar and you'll be able to email the event details from Libretto to guests you want to invite to a recording.
Q: Do you plan on having a voice cloning tool like Descript, even if just to help with editing?
I have been using your trial and think this software has a ton of potential, though two features that would make editing so much easier on this would be 1) simply being able to record over a misspoken word in the editing window or 2) to use AI voice cloning to fix the word via text like in Descript. Either would make this a no-brainer buy for me.
A: Hi, yes this is something we plan to add. It won't be in the next release but we think we'll have it later this year. We'll be able to provide a definite timeline after the upcoming release.
I love the idea of using this tool but sorely needs it. You've got a nice piece here but the UI is what is going to tie everyone's experience together.
I'm considering Tier 2. But just want to clarify few queries beforehand.
I checked your website. It says: 1. "Noise cancellation with Krisp AI so you can record anywhere." So does Libretto use the API of Krisp Ai for Noise Cancellation & is it included in the AppSumo plans as well ?
2. "Studio-quality sound in one click Enhance speech, correct voice loudness and leveling instantly with Studio Sound." Is the Studio Sound feature as good as Descript or is it still a work-in-progress ?
3. As a part of Tier 2 can we only record 30 hrs/month of Podcast or even more is possible ?
4. It says "Collaborative audio and video editor" So how many users do we get in Tier 2 ?
5. Does Libretto support Transcription & editing in Hindi Language as well ? (Hindi is the most commonly used language of India)
6. Is Libretto going more in the direction of Descript or Riverside.fm OR a combination of the Best features of both these tools ?
7. Any possibility of including Whitelabel feature ?
A: Hi, thanks for considering it. 1) Yes, you can enable noise cancellation on Libretto and Libretto uses Krisp AI internally to make this functionality possible. 2) This is not as good as Descript's at the moment - we hope to get there soon. 3) 30 hrs per month limit. 4) It is not enforced at the moment, but up to 4 users will be able to join a single editing session at a time. 5) Hindi Language is available. 6) We take ideas from both. We like the recording functionality of Riverside, and the editing power of Descript and are building toward these. 7) We have plans to allow customization of the recording studio and add branding, that's mostly it. What did you have in mind?
I'd like to mention here that we are in the process of a complete UI revamp, improvement and implementation of functionality that is on our roadmap and more: https://trello.com/b/uSnB9Y3W/libretto-roadmap
Great! Thank you Michael for answering all the questions above. I'm certainly very excited to use Libretto. And I love the fact that you guys are focusing on the Best of both Descript & Riverside.
1. I saw on your RoadMap that the Target Completion date for the UI/UX Revamp along with many other key features is 10th Aug, so do you suggest getting started with Libretto after that date only ?
2. Is there a way to put a Background behind us while doing a Podcast just like in Zoom or Google Meet ? putting a background without having a Green Screen behind us
(Somehow this new Comments feature of AppSumo has a limit on the number of characters, that's why asking questions separately.)
3. By "customization of the recording studio and add branding", do you mean we being able to put our LOGO while doing the Podcast with our Guest. Or is there anything else as well included in the Customization ? What I meant was being able to send a Custom URL to our Guests with our Branding something like www.kapil09.com/studiopodcast or something else.
Custom URL is not something we have planned at the moment. The customization we have planned is being able to change the theme/color of the studio, the font/size/color of the participant names in the video Grid and the ability to put your logo in the studio page.
A: Hi. You can upload and edit audio currently - the audio editing functionalities are trimming tracks, combining tracks end-to-end and enhancing audio. I think your use case will be better served after the upcoming enhancements to the editor we are making which including mixing audio and multi-track editing.
A: AppSumo gives you a refund period, and the non AppSumo subscription plans over 7 day free trials. There’s a major UI revamp and improvements to functionality coming this month.
A: Hi, this will not be in the updates coming this month - however it is something we plan to do and will be added to the roadmap for delivery later in the year.
Q: NOOOO. Is the deal coming back??
I was just coming on to get the lifetime deal and it's gone!! It wasn't even on the "Ending Soon" list.ðŸ˜
