Review Summary

Users find Azure Text to Speech API easy to integrate and implement, with many praising its intuitive interface and well-documented features. They appreciate the natural-sounding voices and customization options for intonation, pauses, and speed. While some users find the pricing reasonable, others voice concerns about its cost. A recurring issue is accuracy, with users reporting instances of incorrect word transcriptions due to accents or misinterpretations. The API is particularly useful for accessibility, benefiting visually impaired users and those seeking to create more inclusive applications. However, improvement is needed regarding language support and the quality of certain voices, specifically Hindi. Overall, the Azure Text to Speech API is a solid tool with potential, but users recommend considering other platforms for languages besides English.

Cons

  • The cost, while reasonable, is a consideration for some users, especially for largescale applications.
  • The quality of synthesized speech, particularly for certain languages and voices, could be improved for a more natural sound.

"Very fluid speech for an AI!"
What do you like best about Azure Text to Speech API?

What I like the most about Azure's text to speech API, and really most of their APIs is how easy to implement it is. The documentation is incredible to the point that it is difficult not to do it right.

What do you dislike about Azure Text to Speech API?

Perhaps what I dislike is the price. Even though they have a pay-as-you-go option, it becomes exponentially expensive for larger applications. For small applications or testing is perfect though!

What problems is Azure Text to Speech API solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was looking for a way to create a voice for a brand that could speak realtively fluent. Microsofts text-to-speech was overall the best option I found, and it was so easy to implement using their documentation.

"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.

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.

What problems is Azure Text to Speech API solving and how is that benefiting you?

We primarily use it to make our onboarding courses multi-language. With its wide array of language and voice options, it facilitates global reach, catering to diverse audiences.
