"Current IP is restricted, please use a proxy." "Voiceover error count exceeds 1/3."

These errors typically occur during the voiceover stage when using the "edgeTTS" voiceover channel. edgeTTS is Microsoft's TTS service API used for the Edge browser's read-aloud function. While it's generally free, recent updates seem to have introduced rate limiting. A large number of requests from the same IP address within a short period can trigger a 403 block, leading to these errors.

How to fix it?

First: Check for the latest patch. If available, download and install it to see if it resolves the issue.

Second: If you understand what a proxy/VPN is, use one. Enter the HTTP proxy address in the "Network Proxy" text box.

Third: As shown below, click "Voiceover Channel," and in the pop-up window, change "Concurrency" to 1 and "Pause" to 5. Reducing the voiceover speed can help minimize errors.

Fourth: If the above methods don't work, try switching to another voiceover channel.

For example, free voiceover services include "GPT-SoVITS," "ChatTTS," "F5-TTS," and "CosyVoice." Deploy the corresponding project locally. Tutorial links are available in the settings box.

Alternatively, use paid online APIs such as 302.AI, ByteDance Volcengine Voice Synthesis, or OpenAI-TTS.
