Edit: the UI is really clunky, doesnt respond in many instances, but i still stand by the original review “it looks very very promising but honestly, i need to be able to use my own API keys, the apps looks good, i heard the test voice at the on boarding, API key is key :D”

The app just hangs on me for hours/days at a time. No indication of progress, just that it’s working on it but never finishes.

Hello, Steve! We're sorry to hear about your experience with the app. Would you mind sharing more details (the text language, length, or screenshots with errors) about your flow with the app at [email protected]? It would help us to get a better idea of the case and investigate the issue more thoroughly.

it’s great but it sucks up your AI credits like there’s no tomorrow

My text states it will take 6K credits? I pressed enter and it did it anyway. Well I doing it i havent hit aditional paywalls yet but it also is extremely slow at processing it. It is processing while read it out loud which is stupid because it freezes the application. No scroll nothing. have to go do somthing else. had potential.

Thanks for the detailed notes. The freeze during processing isn't expected — generation shouldn't lock up the UI, and we're investigating this behavior. We'll also review how the credit estimate works and see what we can improve in future updates. Really helpful report.

Seemed promising, but I didn't even finish the tour before I uninstalled it. What they don't mention in the description anywhere is that this requires credits to use. I'm not paying a Setapp subscription to then also have to pay for something with credits. Too bad.

Response from Developer

Thanks for giving Vexel a try, and sorry the credit requirement wasn't clear upfront — that's on us to communicate better, and we're improving how it's explained. Voice generation uses AI that has a real per-use cost. We'd genuinely value another look once that's clearer.

Hello, there! We're sorry to hear about your experience with the app. We're planning to add more voices in upcoming updates. Also, could you please share more details about your workflow when the crashes and freezes occur at [email protected]? Thank you!

Needs Work. I handed it a markdown file and it hung many times and never completed. I have used a bunch of tokens and the job never actually successfully completed. I am fine spending the tokens when the job is correctly finished, but you shouldn’t charge my account unless the job succeeds. “voice service unavailable” sounds like a you problem, not a me problem and you should be providing the stability to justify the token usage. I am excited at the prospect of this app, and will return when this can get addressed. Good Luck! p.s. a token refund/credit would be appreciated if possible p.p.s. happy to provide logs if needed. example runs from this AM: Total in project: 10 generations - 9:49 total, 0 successes and it is probably a 45-minute expected output Token readout: Vexel respeecher Text 1,220.588 Jun 29, 2026 Vexel respeecher Text 1,220.588 Jun 29, 2026

Hello, Eric! Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your experience with the app. We'll investigate what could go wrong with the service during the generation and improve it in future updates. In the meantime, would you mind dropping us a line at [email protected] and sharing a bit more about your flow with the app? An example of the .md file you've used for voice generation would also help. Thank you!

“Vexel supports 22+ professional voices across multiple languages” . Yeah, multiple if you count English anbd Ukrainian as multiple languages! Uninstalling immediately.

Hi there! Thanks for your feedback. Indeed, at the moment, we have only two languages available, but we're looking forward to expanding this number in future updates.

There are a ton of settings to customize the voice output. Yes, American speakers for now, but what do we expect for a v1 product? Credits are required because all AI services cost money per use. If you check the pricing on the Respeecher costs, it is very reasonable for a subset of voice generation offered there for a much higher price. Great job, guys.

Response from Developer

Thank you — this genuinely means a lot. You've summed up the credit model exactly: AI generation has real per-use cost, and we work to keep it fair. More are on the way. Thanks for taking the time.

Probably Setapp is to blame, but when opening the first time it says my Intel Mac is not supported, so, I guess only Silicon? This should have been obvious on the page of the app in the Setapp interface.

Junk. App thinks english is Icelandic and wont work, spies on you by default, and somehow consumes tokens when only playing the voice preview that (should) be pre recorded. I’ve been increasingly dissapointed with MacPaw lately and this continues that trend.

Response from Developer

Jun 8, 2026

I'm sorry — that's a frustrating first experience. English being detected as another language and blocking generation isn't right, and we'll look into it. Thanks for the honest feedback.

Exactly the app I am after, but I can’t use it as all the voices are American. I live in Australia. Even a British accent would do. There is a Voice Library in the settings where it looks like you can clone a voice, but it is greyed out.

Response from Developer

Jun 8, 2026

Thank you — really glad the concept fits what you need. You're right that the current voice set is US-centric; expanding accents (including British/Australian) is something we want to address in upcoming updates. The Voice Library cloning control shouldn't read as available while it's inactive — we're fixing that as well. Appreciate you flagging both.
