  Thanks! The synth is Dreamtonics' Synthesizer V, using the SOLARIA voice database from Eclipsed Sounds. What really sold it to me was listening to some beautifully crafted covers from this YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX0lcVr9ugI), which was quite interesting and somewhat pleasant sounding for spoken word vocals, but didn't really have the range or expressiveness I was looking for. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• naturalreaders.com - A cool (and free) online text to speech reader.

  Good to see it's free. That being said, it's way below the quality of Google's text-to-speech (which has a free quota and is very cheap once you used your free quota). https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech. Source: over 1 year ago

• Major Text to Speech upgrades for 64 bit devices

  My suspicion is that it's not solely because online voice processing isn't possible...

Assistant showcases what's possible, but they don't want to roll this out for free for everyone. Source: over 1 year ago

  You could use the Google Translate API in conjunction with the Google TTS API. Both are free for a certain number of requests, not sure how much use you expect to get from your app. Source: over 1 year ago
