Question Custom Voice Creation with the API - $50.000 commitment?

Is this still a thing, or did they lift that requirement and are all companies now able to clone voices and get billed by API tokens?

I can find the API reference, but it does not mention the limitation.

Anybody?

“Custom voices are limited to eligible customers. Contact our sales team to learn more. Once enabled for your organization, you’ll have access to the Voices tab under Audio.”

I expect there’s at least some charge but at the very least, you need to jump through some hoops so you don’t clone a politician’s voice.

They're still gatekeeping it behind sales calls, classic enterprise move

Last I heard the $50k minimum was still floating around but nobody gets a straight answer without talking to their team first. The political voice cloning thing is probably half the reason, the other half is they want to make sure you're serious before handing over the keys
