Text-to-Speech (TTS) is a technology that converts written text into spoken words using artificial intelligence (AI). It allows computers or devices to “read” text aloud in a natural-sounding voice. TTS is widely used in various applications like accessibility tools for people with visual impairments, voice assistants (like Siri or Alexa), and customer service systems.

Voice Quality: Look for a provider that offers natural-sounding, expressive voices, especially if you need a high-quality user experience.

Language and Accent Support: Ensure the provider offers support for the languages and accents your audience requires.

Customization: Some providers allow you to customize voices, adjusting speed, pitch, and tone, or even creating a unique voice for your brand.

Cost: TTS services can vary in price, with most providers offering pay-as-you-go models or subscription-based pricing. Make sure it fits within your budget.

Ease of Integration: Depending on your needs, consider whether the provider’s API or SDK integrates easily into your system or platform.

Usage Rights: Some providers allow commercial use, while others have restrictions, especially for specific industries or applications.
