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.

Speech Central reviews

Best 8 buck I've ever spent. Homework readings are cut in half with reading 2x speed. Wish I knew this my freshman year.

- OHMYHIEP

Finally a decent app that doesn't require me to pay stupid amounts of $$ for an annual subscription just so I can listen to text at a non slow motion pace.

- Adelais Desu

The best Text-to-Speech App on Playstore. Can be used offline and offers different languages with different accents. Pitch of the voice selected can be increased/decreased + Reading Speed can be adjusted + Read Fast button can be customized to preferable speed.

Pros & cons

Azure Text to Speech API

Pros
APIs offered are very robust

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

Speech Central
