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

Most popular feedback for Voicepods

I often encouraged my students to read their papers aloud or have them read aloud by someone else to spot mistakes that they didn’t catch when reading silently. Voicepods could be a great tool for students to use to hear their written words read aloud. All they would need to do is copy and paste the text of their papers into Voicepods to hear their work read aloud.

Most popular feedback for Azure Text to Speech API

The neural voices that Azure offers are incredible. The sound is very realistic, like a human being. I like they offer neural voices in different languages even in Spanish and different dialects or accents, so you can use them for different purposes.

Voicepods reviews

When I first tried it and wrote about it Voicepods would only create voice recordings based on text that you wrote. This week Voicepods launched a free Chrome extension that will let you have the text of any webpage read aloud. There are other Chrome extensions that do the same. What makes Voicepods different is that while Voicepods reads the text of webpage it also makes a recording that you can save and playback whenever you want

Voicepods offers the best of both worlds, as they combine an individual service with one that makes it easier for businesses to implement a text to audio API, wherever they need. One of the best things about Voicepods is that they’re much more user-friendly than many of the other choices. You can even create a custom voice that you can use for special projects, so you can get a lot more out of Voicepods than a lot of their competition. Finally, each of their voices sounds clear and natural, so you don’t think that you’re hearing a robot talk when you use their program.
