Unreal Speech
Unreal Speech is a Text-to-Speech API tool that aims to significantly reduce the cost of text-to-speech conversion. It claims to offer up to a 95% reduction in costs compared to similar tools such as Eleven Labs, Play.ht, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. The tool provides an API for developers to integrate text-to-speech functionality into their applications.
Unreal Speech offers different pricing options, including a free plan and several paid plans with volume discounts. The cost per 1 million characters varies depending on the chosen plan. The tool also provides an estimated audio duration for the different plans based on a rough calculation of characters to audio conversion.
The tool boasts high performance and reliability, with a claimed uptime of 99.9% and a low latency of 0.3 seconds. The developer claims that Unreal Speech can handle high volumes of text-to-speech processing, even at rates of processing over 10,000 pages per hour.
According to a testimonial from the CEO of Listening.io, Unreal Speech delivered a high-quality listening experience while saving them 75% on text-to-speech costs compared to Amazon Polly. The tool is described as being able to handle large volumes efficiently without sacrificing quality.
Unreal Speech provides API documentation and a live demo for developers to explore and test the tool’s capabilities. It is made in San Francisco and has a blog and support contact available for further information or inquiries regarding custom solutions.
