We made a tutorial video to help you get setup! Remember to also checkout doc.voxta.ai for other tutorials and documentation.
Also, some useful things to keep in mind:
Default characters use UnrealSpeech voices. It's fine, but not great. You can select 11Labs voices for your characters, which is much, much better but ElevenLabs voices are VERY expensive, and that reflects directly in your credits usage! If you can host a local service, we strongly recommend using XTTS (Coqui). If you are a heavy user that speaks english, consider subscribing to NovelAI for TTS. However if you can't get enough of 11Labs voices, then consider upgradingto a higher tier (we accepted our fate and often 11Labs crazy good quality ourselves, we just don't want you to be surprised and be aware you absolutely have a choice).
We had some trouble with people not receiving their credits when we launched. The problem should be resolved for most of you, but some long-standing patrons might not get the credits automatically. To get them, go to portal.voxta.ai and click "Sync Patreon benefits", and contact us and we'll grant your missing credits! Sorry about that!
We're happy to see such positive feedback, and the system is holding up! We're very excited to see how local services and privacy-first cloud services can coexist in the future, so we can democratize AI characters for people with older GPUs or who want to run 3D avatars, while serving the need to host your own services. What a crazy time!
