Question: Is there a service that converts written text into natural-sounding spoken words in multiple languages?

One of the most versatile is Verbatik, which uses machine learning technology to turn text into speech in more than 600 voices in 142 languages and accents. It works with multiple languages and accents, with options for instant conversion, custom voices, and tools for writing scripts and sound studios. It's good for marketing, education and podcasting, and offers a 3-day free trial with several pricing tiers.

Another top contender is Listnr, which uses generative AI to turn text into lifelike audio in more than 142 languages. It offers more than 1000 voices, the ability to fine-tune the voice, and support for MP4, MP3 and WAV formats. Listnr's interface is designed to be easy to use, making it a good choice for short-form content creators, podcasters and social media teams, and it offers a free tier and several paid tiers.

If you need high-quality voice generation but only in a smaller number of languages, ElevenLabs could be a good option. It offers realistic voices in 29 languages and more than 120 voices, along with the ability to clone voices and fine-tune them. The service is good for content creation, games and audiobooks, and offers a free tier and several paid tiers.
