Dear Ted,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Reuben Morais, and I am a Co-Founder and CTO at Coqui. Today, I have an important update to share regarding the future of our services.

As a valued member of our community, your support and engagement with our text-to-speech technology have been integral to our journey. Our mission has always been to innovate and provide the best possible service to our users. In line with this, we've made significant strides in open-source technology, contributing to the broader community's growth and development.

Upcoming Service Cessation: We have made the difficult decision to discontinue our paid SaaS web application and REST API services. This means that our servers will be going offline in 14 days, on December 11th, 2023. Active subscriptions will be automatically canceled and reimbursed for any remaining time after December 11th.

Action Required – Download Your Assets: We understand that this transition may cause inconvenience, and we are committed to making this process as smooth as possible for you. You have until December 11th, 2023 to download any assets or data you have stored in Coqui Studio. Please ensure you retrieve all necessary assets or data before this deadline, as access will not be possible afterward.

Future of Coqui TTS: While our Coqui Studio application is being discontinued, our latest XTTS model has received fantastic feedback from users in 16 languages. The model is available for non-commercial use in HuggingFace, and commercial licensing inquiries can be made by sending us an email.

Support and Assistance: For assistance with downloading your assets or any questions you may have, please do not hesitate to contact our support team. We are here to help you through this transition.

We deeply appreciate the trust and support you have placed in Coqui. Thank you for being a part of our journey.

Best regards,

Reuben Morais CTO @ Coqui.ai
