Real Voice – Text to Speech

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   DO NOT BUY!!!At the time of writing, this plugin is not dealing with long posts. I have posts with 7k characters (1.1k words) and it doesn’t process them in Google Cloud or ElevenLabs.Azure, that was my 3rd choice (had to create the account, etc = hassle!) works pretty well, but like I said, it was my 3rd choice.However, it’s not all bells and whistles with Azure, too. It frequently spits out errors “cURL error 18: transfer closed with outstanding read data remaining”.I don’t know what it is, whether the plugins is not tested properly or doesn’t have enough error handling.Just poor, poor, poor quality.Another BIG problem is: Plugin generates audio control that is not mobile-friendly. Who in 2024 does not look after having it responsive? Is this a joke?This plugin is basically a misleading offer and incorrectt advertisement. YOU DO NOT GET WHAT YOU ARE TOLD YOU ARE BUYING!I would not recommend it to anyone who wants something reliable.Overall, really bad experience!Note: I will be happy to update this review once the plugin gets better, but at the moment I am sharing my current and honest experience and it’s just UNUSABLE.
