I've developed a simple AI-powered British accent generator. Enter or paste your text, select the voice that best fits your project's tone, and generate speech for free. It supports up to 500 characters and offers 8 distinct, lifelike voices. Everything runs entirely within your browser. I'm primarily seeking feedback on output quality, user experience, and any technical improvements worth exploring.

British accent review time!

"Nature Show Host": not David Attenborough, surprisingly

"Compelling Lady": nothing beats a Jet2 Holiday

"Upset Girl": this is more the voiceover that would be used on depressing animal charity adverts

"Magnetic Man": you can't fool me, that's an American

"Patient Man": patience gives you reverb. The word "British" is spoken with a very non-British accent.

Not to be all Henry Higgins, but these are all "placeless" accents and there are no regional accent options. I was looking forward to trying Computer Mancunian. But I can see why for marketing voiceover people want "global neutral British".

UX review: "failed to generate speech". Only the example phrases work.

Patient man, sounds a little Welsh, maybe some Indian twangs in there too?

I tried to get it to generate a hearty "Fit like min?" - no luck.

Keep getting "Failed to generate speech. Please try again." on Brave + Chrome.

HTZc3SNl.js:1 Failed to generate speech: Error: Invalid API response format at Z (HTZc3SNl.js:1:29240)

Same here. I was hoping to type in "Dos cerverzas por favor" and hear it shout "TWO BEEROS HERE PEDRO".

"British accents are known for their pronunciation patterns, intonation, and rhythm, which differ from American, Australian, or other English accents. A British accent generator focuses on these speech characteristics to create audio that sounds natural and familiar to UK listeners." What kind of Slop is this? British accent is different from other English accents?

Are these for the purpose of selling to non-Brits right? "Being British is supposed to be classy and surely not associated with Trump as much as being an American"?

That might work, but not for selling to Brits because they expect some sort of a local accent. Universal/unlocalised voice does not sound natural or believable to them.

Initial feedback: they're all too slow after the initial 'welcome...generator' sentence, doesn't sound natural.

(Also struggled getting it working at all as others already noted.)

This needs a Roadman accent. Plz.

Awesome stuff.
