I’ve tried a bunch of projects that never worked. So every time I saw “I made $100k with ChatGPT,” I’d lose my mind.
The only thing that worked for me was YouTube. I ran channels with ElevenLabs voices, until I realized the plan I needed cost over $1300. That’s insane.
So I thought… what if I build my own TTS with similar quality?
I found some open-source models on GitHub, rented powerful GPUs on Google Cloud (NVIDIA T4), and after months of training, I got it sounding just like ElevenLabs.
At first, it was just for me. But YouTube got too saturated. So I built a landing page. Posted it.

Now I’ve got 7000 users.
