Kai's verdictA-tier. Great price/performance. Go here if ElevenLabs is too expensive.S-tier for fiction. If you're writing a novel, this beats raw ChatGPT every time.S-tier if you live in the terminal. Different shape than Cursor — complementary, not replacement.A-tier. If you already love Duolingo, worth it. If starting fresh, try ChatGPT Voice instead.
