Text to Speech API Questions, Answers and Information

Why text to speech as a service?  iSpeech’s Text to Speech WebService puts the power of our TTS clusters anywhere, anytime.  Our “zero-footprint text to speech™” leaves traditional embedded solutions and TTS servers at a loss for words.

How fast is iSpeech?  iSpeech is as fast as you need it.  iSpeech has a unique, patent-pending multi-threaded, multi-core method for running a single text to speech conversion.  This allows us to attack one single text to speech conversion with an unlimited number of processors simultaneously.  So a text to speech conversion that would normally take 30 minutes can be done in less than 30 seconds.

Don’t want to deal with the overhead of audio files?  We can take care of that for you.  Ask us about using our SAN to store and access your files.  Our TTS Web Service automatically recognizes files that have already been converted by a unique hash and pulls them through the SAN, so nothing needs to be converted twice.  iSpeech is completely efficient.

Want to try iSpeech, but don’t want to commit?  All of our Text to Speech options are pay-as-you-go.  We want to earn your business, and we’ll never take you for granted.  We even have a free, ad-supported TTS voice that you can try without paying.  The free text to speech voice will help you get a feel for our service at no cost.

What if I need help implementing text to speech in your application?  The iSpeech Team will get you running TTS conversions fast.  If you feel like our Text to Speech API is too much for you to handle, we also have a simple, easy to use, TTS conversion user interface.  The UI allows for you to manually upload word documents, Adobe Acrobat PDFs, PowerPoint, HTML, RSS feeds, and more.

What if I need some functionality that iSpeech doesn’t seem to have?  Ask us.  If it would help you, chances are we will implement it in a hurry.  If you need a custom text to speech solution, we will build it for you.  iSpeech is here to help you speech-enable your website or application.

What is the largest text to speech conversion you guys can handle?  To optimize our servers, we have limited conversions to 100,000 words.  If you need to convert more words, we suggest you break up a TTS conversion into separate parts.  For instance, if you have a book, convert the individual chapters separately.  It also makes it easier to navigate and play the MP3 files.  Chapters will act much like chapters on a DVD.
