"Azure Neural Voices are amazing"
What do you like best about 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Azure Text to Speech API?

Sometimes you are using a voice you like. After that they can remove the voice and there is no a replacement of this voice, that means you are not going to be able to use the voice you like anymore. I think they need to improve this part by creating new voices or new versions of the voice but keeping all the voices so you can continue using the voice that you like.
