"Solid Tool with Room for Improvement"
What do you like best about Azure Text to Speech API?

Azure TTS API is really good. It offers high-quality audio output and a wide range of voice options. Seamless integration within Azure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Text to Speech API?

Comes off as a pricey alternative despite not sounding very natural. I personally prefer Amazon Polly over Azure TTS purely because it sounds "human". But if the application is hosted on Azure, then it's far better to use Azure TTS because of the convenience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
