ReadSpeaker speechCloud API

Convert text into high-quality audio for use in a variety of applications

How It Works

When using the API from within your software/application, you simply send text to the ReadSpeaker speechCloud API servers and receive audio data in the file format you specify as a response. This file can be stored on your server for reuse or further distribution or other use.

We provide several API parameters that your application can use to give you full control over the produced audio. With these parameters, you can customize the language, voice, reading speed, pitch, audio format, bitrate, etc. according to your preferences.

ReadSpeaker speechCloud API can also easily be used in the very popular open source communication application platform Asterisk to add text-to-speech capabilities to PBX/IVR systems.
