What do you like best about Azure Text to Speech API?

It makes it super easy to go from plain text to really natural sounding speech. The SDKs and REST API are straight forward like just grab your key, hit the endpoint and you are talking in minutes.

I like that it supports lots of languages and the neural voices actually sound human not robotic. SSML is a nice bonus when tou need to tweak speed or add pauses and the custom voice option is great if you want tour own branded voice. Also, its comes with free tier so its enough to play around and build a poc without any cost Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
