Synthetic voice quality is now good enough for video, podcasts and phone lines at most of these tools. The real question is what you are allowed to do with the file. Licences differ by plan: cheaper tiers often restrict commercial use or tie the rights to an active subscription, which leaves finished work in a grey area once you cancel.
The second issue is cloning. Recording someone else's voice without written consent is a problem even when the tool makes it technically easy; with an employee or client, get the permission signed first. So each review covers the licence, the cloning rules, and what happens to the audio you upload. If you only need occasional transcription, a cheaper category will do.

It depends on the plan. Several tools allow commercial use only on paid tiers, and some tie the rights to an active subscription. Terms change, so each review states what that specific tool permits at the time of writing.
Cloning your own voice is fine. Anyone else's requires demonstrable consent from that person, and responsible tools ask for it formally. Without consent you are using someone's likeness, and that includes an employee or a former colleague.
Accuracy varies far more outside English, especially with technical terms and several speakers. Test candidates on your own recording at normal quality rather than a clean demo. Our reviews note how each tool handles languages beyond English.
