LOVO

What is LOVO AI?

LOVO AI is a content creation platform that relies on AI-powered voice synthesis; its main interface is called Genny. Users can write scripts in their browser, select or clone voices, and generate narrations. They can also add images, videos, music, sound effects, and subtitles to the timeline in order to create audiovisual content suitable for use in courses, marketing campaigns, social media, YouTube, and entertainment projects.

Genny is not just a renamed version of the older LOVO Studio. LOVO Studio was an early text-to-speech tool, whereas Genny integrates voice, video, subtitles, AI Writer, and AI Art.

New users should use Genny; the Studio interface and plans mentioned in older tutorials may no longer be applicable.

AI Voice Generator: text to speech

Genny offers over 500 different voices, covering more than 100 languages and accents. Users can filter these voices by language, gender, age, and style; they can choose different speakers for various text segments within the same project, and adjust the speed, pauses, emphasis, and pronunciation.

The number of sound libraries does not mean that all languages have the same quality and style. Chinese characters, brand names, numbers, abbreviations, and technical terms should be listened to individually;

Regenerating the content after making changes will consume additional voice quota.

Pro Voices and emotional expression

Some Pro voices emphasize a more natural rhythm and emotion, and can be used in advertisements, stories, game characters, and audio content. The emotions that can be conveyed and the level of control available with different voices vary; it is advisable to test them using actual scripts before making a choice.

Increasing the intensity of emotions can lead to instability in speech pace, volume, and stress. Long texts should be divided into smaller segments with complete meanings, maintaining a consistent volume while also providing an option for synthetic voice narration.

Voice cloning

Genny allows users to create custom sounds by recording for about 1 minute; the official documentation states that both paid users and those on a free trial can use this feature, and creating a clone does not consume any Voice Generation Credits. However, generating a cloned sound still results in the consumption of voice usage time.

The recording should be made by a single person, without music, with minimal reverb, and using a microphone at a constant distance. Users must obtain explicit permission from the speaker; they are not allowed to use the voices of public figures, customers, employees, or voice actors in unauthorized advertisements, fake content, or misleading material.

Voice Over and Video projects

The Voice Over project is used for creating pure audio content, while the Video project allows for the addition and editing of videos and images. It is possible to switch between different views within the settings, which makes it convenient to first complete the narration and then proceed to the video timeline to add visual elements.

Genny is suitable for videos with narration driven by a browser; it is not a replacement for professional video editing software. Complex color grading, compositing, multi-camera editing, and advanced mixing still require specialized software to be carried out.

Online video editor

The video editor allows users to upload materials, add AI-generated voiceovers, text, images, logos, music, sound effects, transitions, and subtitles; it also enables file export or sharing of playback links through Genny’s hosting service. For users without any editing experience, this integrated workflow helps reduce the need to switch between different tools.

Browser-based projects rely on the network and cloud processing, which can result in slower rendering of large files. Before final delivery, it is necessary to check the image resolution, bitrate, font licensing, music permissions, and the safe areas for subtitles.

Automatic subtitles

Genny offers four options for adding subtitles: automatic transcription from uploaded audio and video, generation of subtitles from existing TTS text, manual entry of subtitles, and uploading SRT files. It is possible to edit the text and timing of subtitles, as well as apply predefined styles.

You can also download SRT files or burn subtitles into the video.

If the project already contains TTS text blocks, Auto Subtitles may not be an option; in such cases, Textblocks to Subtitles should be used. Automatic transcription can misidentify names, numbers, and specialized terms, so it is necessary to proofread the text before publishing it.

AI Writer and AI Art

AI Writer can generate or rewrite scripts based on a given theme, while AI Art is used to create images for projects; it’s suitable for quickly producing drafts, backgrounds, and storyboard elements. The results generated can be integrated into the Genny timeline along with audio.

AI scripts may contain factual errors, and AI-generated images can have issues with text, details of figures, and similarities to existing works. Commercial content requires verification of facts, brand guidelines, and third-party rights; drafts cannot be considered final products outright.

Music, sound effects, and assets

Users can upload or add music, sound effects, images, and videos to create comprehensive content for voice projects. The different audio tracks in a project can be synchronized using the timeline, and they can be combined with subtitles and scenes.

The fact that a platform is available does not mean that its assets can be used in any ad, broadcast, or client project. It is necessary to check the licensing terms for each asset in the inventory, as well as for the music uploaded and the images generated, to avoid mistaking commercial usage rights for permission to use all third-party assets.

14-day free trial

New accounts receive a 14-day Pro trial period, without the need for a credit card; they can use the paid features as well as enjoy a limited amount of text-to-speech generation. After the trial period ends, if no upgrade is made, the account will switch to the Free version, but the existing projects will remain in the workspace.

Free or trial versions can be played through sharing links that include a LOVO watermark; the presence of such watermark, as well as options for export and commercial use, are subject to the limitations associated with the current account level. An upgrade and re-export are required before the official release.

Free trial version

Free is suitable for keeping projects and conducting small-scale tests after the trial period ends; the maximum number of projects allowed is 5. The free quota differs from the benefits offered during the trial period, and the number of minutes of audio that can be used as well as the downloadable formats are specified on the account subscription page.

The free plan cannot be considered a stable production package. The API may be disabled for free users for security reasons, and commercial projects cannot rely on the licensing assumptions associated with free or trial versions.

Price and version comparison

Basic price and quota

The current common annual price for Basic is around $24 per month, which amounts to approximately $288 for the whole year; the monthly price may be higher.

The official documentation states that 2 hours of Voice Generation are provided per month, with a maximum of 10 projects allowed in total.

Basic is suitable for individual creators who regularly produce short videos and voiceovers. Promotions, currency options, and renewal prices may vary; it is necessary to check before settling the bill whether a discount for the first year is applicable and whether the payment is made in a single lump sum per year.

Pro price and quota

The current price for Pro is around 48 dollars per month; during certain periods, a promotional offer is available with a 50% discount on the annual fee for the first year. It includes 5 hours of Voice Generation per month, and it is possible to keep up to 50 projects at the same time – making it suitable for freelancers and those who need to produce content on a regular basis.

Pro is usually a personal plan that offers comprehensive features and quotas, but the promotional price does not represent the price for permanent subscription. When making a purchase, it is necessary to check the amount due for the next billing period, as well as the number of team seats and clones available.

Pro+ price and quota

The current price of Pro+ is around $149 per month; some annual payment promotions offer a rate of about $75 per month, for a total of $900 for the whole year. It includes 20 hours of voice generation per month, with no limit on the number of projects, and it is suitable for organizations, agencies, and teams that generate content frequently.

The official help page states that for requirements exceeding 30 hours per month, it is necessary to contact sales. When generating a large volume of content, it is also necessary to take into account the additional costs associated with repeated revisions; one cannot simply estimate based on the final length of the video.

Enterprise business solution

Enterprise offers customized quotes; there is no limit to the number of projects. The configuration can be adjusted based on factors such as team size, voice usage time, brand voice requirements, API usage, as well as security and support needs. Organizations that require more than 30 hours of processing time, need purchase contracts, want to carry out large-scale collaboration, or require customized services should contact the sales team.

When making procurement decisions, businesses should take into account factors such as seat allocations, permissions for work areas, concurrency levels, data retention policies, uses for model training, SLAs, mechanisms for ending audio sessions, and licensing for materials, rather than focusing only on the price per hour.

How are Generation Credits calculated?

Generation Credits are expressed in hours and minutes; they are deducted each time text is converted into speech, based on the time required to generate the audio. The remaining credit amount is displayed in real time in the workspace, on the subscription page, and at the top of the project.

The quota is updated on a monthly basis at the end of each billing cycle, and any unused portion is not carried over to the following month. Generating the modified text again will result in additional charges; therefore, it is necessary to first review the script and pronunciation before generating it in bulk.

LOVO AI Usage Guide

Complete a basic task.

1. Verify recordings, audio, music, and participant authorization;
2. Upload or enter clear audio into LOVO AI;
3. Select settings such as language, speaker, and AI Voice Generator text-to-speech functionality;
4. Use Pro Voices to generate transcripts, voiceovers, or cleaned-up versions based on emotional expression;
5. Check each segment for names, numbers, pauses, volume, and mood;
6. Before exporting, verify the format, loudness, copyright, and privacy requirements;

Create reusable professional workflows

1. A test set is created using real noise, accents, and multi-person segments;
2. Compare the differences in text-to-speech functionality between AI Voice Generator and Pro Voices, as well as in terms of emotion expression and voice cloning.
3. Retain the original recordings and the unmodified transcripts;
4. Arrange for a manual hearing before releasing it to the public;
5. Statistically analyze processing time, error rate, and quota consumption;
6. Regularly update the glossary, sound licensing, and deletion policies;

Limit on the number of projects

• Free allows up to 5 items, Basic allows 10 items, Pro allows 50 items; Pro+ and Enterprise have no limit.
• The project limit refers to the total number of accounts or teams that can be saved at any given time, and it is not a quota that is refreshed on a monthly basis.
• The team plan is calculated based on the total of the entire team, rather than individually for each member.
• Once the limit is reached, it is necessary to delete old items or upgrade;
• Before deletion, the audio, video, and subtitles should be exported, as deleting the project may affect subsequent modifications.

Commercial use rights

The official help documentation states that the Basic, Pro, Pro+ and Enterprise subscription plans grant commercial rights to the content generated by Genny, which can be used for customer content as well as YouTube videos for which earnings are generated.

Commercial rights do not include sounds, scripts, music, images, trademarks, and characters that users are not authorized to use. Free trials and Free versions should not, by default, come with the same commercial licensing rights.

Separate consent from the individual is also required for cloning voices.

Watermarking and Exporting

The free trial or Free version can be shared through links that contain the LOVO watermark. After upgrading to a paid plan, it is possible to export content without such watermarks, but older projects may need to be regenerated or re-exported in order for the watermarks to be removed.

The absence of watermarks does not mean that it is possible to hide the fact that the content was generated by AI. News, advertisements, voices of real people, and high-risk content must have their synthetic voices disclosed in accordance with local regulations and the policies of the platforms where they are published.

Cancellation, renewal, and account deletion

Subscriptions can be canceled at any time on Genny’s Subscription page; the paid benefits remain valid until the end of the current billing cycle, after which the account is downgraded to Free. C canceling a subscription does not mean deleting the account, and the projects can still be accessed using the free account.

Permanently deleting an account will also remove all items from Genny, and this action cannot be reversed. Before proceeding, it is necessary to export the items, audio files, subtitles, and other materials, and to ensure that the subscription has been canceled.

Genny TTS API

LOVO provides the Genny API, which allows users to obtain API keys, list available sounds, and use synchronous or asynchronous text-to-speech conversion. The asynchronous interface returns a Job ID; developers can monitor the status by polling or by setting up a callback URL to receive notifications once the task is completed. This approach is suitable for processing large quantities of text or long texts.

The usage of APIs and the features available to Studio members cannot be considered as part of the same package. The official documentation does not currently provide a clear display of the exact pricing based on usage, and requests from free users may be blocked by security policies. Before integrating these services into production environments, it is necessary to check the rates, character limits, concurrency settings, and commercial licensing options either through the control panel or by contacting sales.

API security and reliability

API Keys should be stored only on the server side; they must not be included in frontend code, mobile applications, or public repositories. Asynchronous tasks require handling of repeated callbacks, failure scenarios, timeouts, retries, and expired output files.

Before batch generation, a sample check of the target language and voice should be carried out, and the speaker ID, script version, request ID, and authorization records should be saved, to prevent the inability to reproduce the results in case there are changes in the model or voice library.

GitHub and the open-source status

The LOVO Genny platform, the hosted voice models, the video editor, and the API are not open-source products. The official GitHub organization associated with this platform contains a small number of public SDKs, experimental projects, and example repositories, but it does not provide the code needed to host Genny entirely on one’s own, nor the model weights.

The presence of third-party repositories or other open-source TTS projects in an organization’s collection and search results does not mean that they represent Genny’s current production model. To determine whether a project is open-source and what its license is, it is necessary to check the specific repository, its owner, the LICENSE file, and its maintenance status.

Which users is it suitable for?

• Creators who produce subtitles for YouTube videos, short clips, and podcasts;
• Teams that need course materials, training sessions, and product demonstration videos;
• Operators who create multilingual marketing content and subtitles;
• Users who wish to create a personal or brand voice through a 1-minute recording;
• Developers who generate application voices in bulk using the TTS API.
