MultiLang TTS

Intelligent TTS Software

NOTE: This software is currently in alpha testing

MultiLang TTS is a text-to-speech software that utilizes Google's WaveNet technology to create human-like speech (read more about WaveNet). Unlike software currently using WaveNet, MultiLang TTS allows you to supply your own API key. This avoids having to pay a 3rd party for their software to access this technology.

Getting Started

In order to use this software, the following is needed:

• A Google Account
• A payment method for Google's service (in the event that you plan to process over one million characters)
• A Google Cloud Account
