Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today.

Azure Text to Speech API reviews

Easy conversion from a voice recorded speech to text. Making speech into notes. When the user is not able to understand the speech he can leverage this API to understand what the user is trying to convey.

Accuracy of conversation is highly advanced and reliable

A very user friendly product with nicely built. Its good category is supporting multi language. It is best multi-language text to speech API which helped in my working space a lot.

ResponsiveVoice reviews

Thank you for making the free version available. Best part – it works in my sidebar, does not have to be in the page text. Editing one sidebar widget is very much easier than 2000 pages! Does not quite sound human – but text to speech has gotten much better the last few years.

- acStudent-student

Naturally, not everyone loves to use shortcodes. Let the plugin have a setting option to decide if you want the plugin to show on-site post type or you want it on pages or custom pages. Let it have the ability to show t top of post content or bottom of post content whether on the right, left or center

Very simple and working good plugin.

Pros & cons

Azure Text to Speech API

Pros
APIs offered are very robust
Deployment is easy since its available on the cloud

The pricing is also costly - so for an individual user, not on a company plan, this is not affordable
Different accents mistakes
More support for regional languages
