ttsMP3

ttsMP3 lets people convert text into natural speech in more than 28 languages and accents, including US English. The service provides a free text-to-speech conversion service that can be downloaded as an MP3 file. That makes it useful for e-learning, presentations, YouTube videos and accessibility for people with difficulty reading text on a screen.

Among the features of ttsMP3:

• Multilingual support: Supports more than 28 languages, including Arabic, Australian English, Brazilian Portuguese, British English and many others.
• Accent options: Multiple voices for some languages.
• Customization: Options to control the speech, for example adding pauses, emphasizing words, speeding up or slowing down speech, raising or lowering the pitch, and even whispering.
• Conversational style: Ability to switch speakers in the middle of the text.
• SSML tags compatibility: Uses Amazon SSML tags for more advanced customization.

The service is useful for anyone who wants to give their digital content a more professional voice without having to record it themselves or hire a voice actor. The service uses Amazon Polly as its engine, but it's limited to about 375 words or 3,000 characters per day.

If you need more features or a higher usage limit, you can sign up for premium access. There's also API documentation if you want to use ttsMP3 in your own application.

For people who just want a text-to-speech service, ttsMP3 is a simple service that's easy to use. Its language support is broad, and its options for customizing the speech are useful for a lot of practical uses.
