Amazon Polly it’s the most realistic text to speech I heard so far. Source: 11 months ago
This was a long time ago, so I used Ivona voices and the program TextAloud (though I admit I pirated them because they were/are expensive). Looking into it Ivona was bought by Amazon and replaced by Amazon Polly which looks like it will fulfill your needs pretty well! Source: 11 months ago
I was inspired by a post from Ran Isenberg last week. He created an automation to take his blog posts, run them through Amazon Polly, and create a spoken form of his content. His automation emails him a copy of the output so he can save it on his site and enable readers to listen to the post. This is great for consumers who are in the car or have accessibility needs. - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago
Because the “AI software” is likely offered at an API and not everyone is skilled with programming to utilise it meaningfully. See https://aws.amazon.com/polly/. Source: 12 months ago
Creating AI speech isn't that difficult thing to do, however it is a bit challenging to find an API that doesn't cost you your kidneys. Luckily I ran into Unreal Speech which has some pretty generous free monthly tier. However it will not suffice for us to run the site generations for a over month, so I'll need to do some tricks here and there to keep things running (or just open up my wallet). - Source: dev.to / 13 days ago
