It's pretty good app. But TOO EXPENSIVE. Come on. it's even the same as Chatgpt Plus. 5-10 usd a month for AI voice works for me. But 20? You gotta be crazy.

If the audio is redistributed or shared in any way (eg sending the mp3 to others, posting the audio online or using the audio in online content, using the audio to create videos, etc), then it is no longer personal use.

The Premium, Plus, and EDU subscriptions include our personal AI Text to Speech web app, mobile app for iOS & Android, and Chrome extension.

Premium and Plus are plans for individual users and so allow 1 user access only.

The EDU plans are simply group subscription options if you'd like more than 1 user to have access to the apps. EDU plans are available with a 'Premium Group License', 'Plus Group License', 'Premium Site License, or 'Plus Site License'.

Aside from user count, the only other difference between the plans are what voices are included. 'Premium' plans include unlimited listening with the non-AI Premium Voices. 'Plus' plan include the same, in addition to 500,000 characters per user per day to listen with the AI Plus Voices.

I haven't gotten my refund yet.

Refunds may take up to 7 business days to post back to you.

In some cases, the refund may be processed as a reversal. This happens when a refund is issued while the payment is still pending in your bank account. In the case of a reversal, you won't see a refund credit on the statement. Instead the original authorization will drop off your statement entirely after a few days as if it never occurred. If you can't find the original transaction on your statement, it may have been processed as a reversal.

If you do still see the original transaction but can't find the refund listed, please contact us and we can provide you with the ARN. You can contact your bank with the ARN (acquirer reference number) and they can trace the transaction for you.

I upgraded my plan but I can't download to mp3 / I upgraded my plan but my account still shows as 'free' / I upgraded but it's still asking me to pay?

If you purchased Premium or Plus from our website, go to Account > Reset NaturalReader. After it refreshes, login and check your account status again or try the feature again. ​ If you purchased from the App Store or Google Play, from the mobile app go to Account > Subscription & Billing > Restore.

If you continue to get an error message prompting you to upgrade, check which voice you are using in the app to listen or download. Plus Voices aren't included with a Premium plan, so you may be getting upgrade prompts if you are using a Plus Voice with a Premium subscription.

How do I upgrade from Premium to Plus?

If you purchased the Premium subscription from our website, you can upgrade to Plus for the prorated difference in price. Upgrade by logging in and going to Account > Subscription & Billing > Upgrade to Plus.

If you subscribed to Premium from the App Store, you must upgrade from the NaturalReader mobile app by logging in and going to Account > Subscription & Billing > Upgrade to Plus. Upgrading will cost the full price of the Plus plan, but Apple will issue you a refund for the prorated amount of the original Premium subscription. It can take up to 7 days for the refund to be posted back to you and will post on your statement under 'APPLE'.

If you subscribed to Premium from Google Play, you must upgrade from the NaturalReader mobile app by logging in and going to Account > Subscription & Billing > Upgrade to Plus. Google doesn't charge you automatically when you upgrade to Plus, instead they will calculate the price difference and adjust your new monthly/yearly renewal date by pushing the date forward. When it does renew, you will then be charged the normal Plus monthly/yearly rate for the subscription tier.

My Plus plan isn't being recognized / Why is it letting me read for only 5 minutes?

First check which voice you are using in the app to listen or download. Plus Voices aren't included with a Premium plan, so you may be getting upgrade prompts if you are using a Plus Voice with a Premium subscription. The voices are all labelled as 'Free', 'Premium', or 'Plus'. If you are a free or Premium user, you can sample the voices for 5 minutes per day.

If you are already subscribed to Plus through our website, login and go to Account > Reset NaturalReader. After it refreshes, login and try to listen or download again. ​ If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, login and go to Account > Subscription & Billing > Restore before trying to listen or download again.

How do I upgrade from monthly to yearly?

For subscriptions purchased from our website, currently we don't have a way for users to upgrade from monthly to yearly on their own. To change your billing, contact us and we will help you with upgrading at a prorated rate.

For subscriptions purchased from the App Store or Google Play, there is no way to directly or manually upgrade from monthly to yearly. Please cancel your current subscription and after the billing period ends, re-subscribe with the yearly plan.

How do I download my invoice or receipt?

If you subscribed from our website, your invoices/receipts can be downloaded from the Customer Portal by logging in and going to Account > Subscription & Billing > Customer Portal. Scroll to 'Invoice History' and click on the billing period you'd like to generate a copy for. You can also access the Customer Portal directly with the link in your order confirmation email.

If you subscribed from the App Store or Google Play, a copy of your receipt should have been emailed to you at the time of purchase.

Visit Google Support for more information on how to see your app purchase history: ​ ​ https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2850369?hl=en

How do I update my payment method?

If you subscribed from our website, you can update your billing details from the Customer Portal by logging in and going to Account > Subscription & Billing > Customer Portal. Scroll to 'Payment Method' and select 'Add payment method'. You can also access the Customer Portal directly with the link in your order confirmation email.

How do I delete my payment information?

If you have an active subscription, your account must have a payment source saved to the account.

If you have more than 1 payment method saved, you can delete the other payment source(s) by going to Account > Subscription & Billing > Customer Portal. Scroll to 'Payment Method' and click the X next to the payment method you'd like to remove.

How do I update my billing information?

If you subscribed from our website, you can update your billing details from the Customer Portal by logging in and going to Account > Subscription & Billing > Customer Portal. Scroll to 'Billing and Shipping Information' and select 'Update information'. When you re-download your invoice/receipt, it will include your new billing details.

Why isn't my payment being accepted?

When a charge is submitted to your bank or card issuer, they have automated systems that determine whether or not to authorize it. These systems take various signals into account, such as your spending habits, account balance, and card information like the expiration date and CVC.

If all of the card information seems correct, it is best to contact your bank and ask for more information. For privacy and security, banks and card issuers can only discuss the specifics of a declined payment with their cardholders.

One common issue you can check is that depending on your location, your bank may not have been expecting an international charge. You can inform your bank to approve international charges from naturalreaders.com and try purchasing again.

Why did you charge me twice?

Sometimes customers mistake a subscription upgrade for a duplicate charge. When you start on the Premium plan then upgrade to Plus, you are charged the prorated difference in price to change the plan. For example, you might start on the Premium Monthly plan ($9.99). Plus Monthly is $19, so you would be charged $9.01 to upgrade the plan.

Some users also sign up for a subscription under different email addresses. If you contact us with your purchase emails, we are happy to help you cancel the extra account. ​ Of course mistakes do still happen so if you do receive a duplicate charge, please contact us and we will check the transaction record and refund any duplicate charges.

I only wanted it for 1 month why did you charge me?

As a subscription service, the plans auto-renew by default until you cancel from your account or contact us to cancel it for you. If you didn't want to continue the subscription but it has already renewed, please contact us to request a cancellation and refund. ​ ​

I didn't purchase this why did you charge me?

It is very common that a user might sign up for a subscription then forget about it or have a family member subscribe without permission. Or sometimes employees subscribe with a company card but don't cancel. No matter the reason, we are happy to look into any transactions you don't recognize from naturalreaders.com.

If we aren't able to find a subscription or account under your email address or email addresses you provide, we may ask you to confirm the last 4 digits of the card used, the date, and the amount so we can trace the transaction.

Do you accept purchase orders?

Yes, but we do not accept purchase orders for all NaturalReader products. We do not accept POs for the Premium or Plus individual subscription plans for personal use. For commercial use, we accept POs for the AI Voice Generator's Single or Team yearly billing plans only. Upfront payment is required for POs and we use secure online invoicing. Quote requests and POs can be emailed to [email protected] .

Do you work with resellers?

Yes, we work with resellers but we do not accept purchase orders for all NaturalReader products or plans. Our top resellers we recommend are SHI International Corp, Insight, and Softchoice. Quote requests and purchase orders can be emailed to [email protected] .

Can I buy this for someone else?

Yes, it's possible to purchase a subscription for someone else. We recommend using the intended end user's email address during checkout so that the license is ready for them to use. The order confirmation email they receive afterwards would not include any billing details.

If you do not want the person you're purchasing for to upgrade the plan or renew without authorization, you can contact us and we can remove the payment information on the account for you.

Can I upgrade from Premium/Plus to Commercial?

No--the Premium and Plus plans to NaturalReader AI Text to Speech is a completely separate platform and subscription from NaturalReader AI Voice Generator. You cannot upgrade/downgrade between them. Instead, you subscribe to the services separately.

If you purchased a personal use Premium/Plus plan by mistake when you needed a commercial license, you can contact us to request a refund.

I'm trying to login but it says my email doesn't exist.

If you purchase a subscription without first registering a user account, you just need to sign-up first before logging in. The license is set up using the email address you entered during checkout. Your confirmation email also includes links to either sign-up or login.

If you purchase without registering first, sign-up using your purchase email by going to Account > Sign Up.

Another reason you might see this error is that your account might be registered to use the Google Account or Apple ID login option. If you signed up using your Google Account or Apple ID, click on 'Continue with Google' / 'Continue with Apple' on the login page to proceed.

I can't verify my account / Can you resend my verification email?

Can you add __ language?

While we can't make any promises, we're happy to take suggestions for what languages or accents you'd most like to use.

Voices are licensed to us by third party voice providers at a cost. We add voices based on the number of requests as well as whether suitable high quality text to speech voices for a specific language or accent are available on the market.

What is the voice quality?

The Premium and Plus voices for personal use range from 22-24 kHz. As of Nov. 20 2023, the commercial version's voices are 44 kHz.

Why don't I have free voices?

Most devices have free to use text to speech voices pre-installed, which are accessible through NaturalReader's Free Voices list. The availability of Free Voices will depend on your device, operating system, and/or browser.

Every time I press play I get an error message "Something went wrong".

This error may have occurred because of a synchronization issue between your OS and the time server it's using. This can cause an authentication error and prevent the text to speech from working correctly on your device.

If you use a Mac, please follow the instructions here to fix the error.

If you are using Windows 10, please follow the instructions here to fix the error. ​

How do I add or adjust pauses?

This feature may not be available depending on which version you are using.

NaturalReader AI Text to Speech (Premium, Plus, and EDU plans for personal use) does not allow you to insert pauses or modify pause length.

The NaturalReader AI Voice Generator (for commercial use) allows you to insert periods of silence with the Advanced Tunes , however the default pause length of periods, commas, etc cannot be altered.

Can I use more than 1 voice in an audio download?

NaturalReader AI Text to Speech (Premium, Plus, and EDU plans for personal use) does not allow you to to use more than 1 voice in an audio download.

The NaturalReader AI Voice Generator (for commercial use) does allow you to apply specific voices to specific pieces of text that you can download into a single audio file.

Some words aren't pronounced correctly, how do I fix it?

If it's a specific word, the Pronunciation Editor is available to use to fine-tune pronunciation issues. The AI Text to Speech version (Premium, Plus, and EDU plans for personal use) allows you to use phonetic spelling or word substitution to modify pronunciation .

The AI Voice Generator (for commercial use) allows you to use either phonetic/word substitution or phonemic IPA spelling to modify the pronunciation , depending on the voice.

If you are reading from a document and many common words are being mispronounced, it may a document-specific issue caused by the encoding of the file. PDF files in particular contain various hidden layers of special encoding, which can be at times inconsistent though the text appears normally on the screen. Most files with standard encoding are supported and can be read correctly.

You can try correcting document-specific pronunciation issues using the Scan to Text feature. Scan to Text uses the OCR to capture pages of the document and converts the image into accessible text.

My Pronunciation Editor is empty.

Try logging in and out of the app, then check the Pronunciation Editor again.

DOCUMENTS & UPLOADING

What file formats are supported.

NaturalReader AI Text to Speech (Premium, Plus, and EDU plans for personal use) supports most document types, including pdf, txt, epub, doc(x), ppt(x), xls(x), numbers, pages, key, csv, odt, ods, odp, html, rtf, xlt, psd, bmp, png, xml, svg, cdr, eps, psw, dot, and tiff.

The NaturalReader AI Voice Generator does not support document upload. Text must be typed or pasted directly to convert to audio.

What is the size limit?

NaturalReader AI Text to Speech's (Premium, Plus, and EDU plans for personal use) file upload limit for PDF files is 200 mb. For all other non-PDF files, the limit is 50 mb. ​ For larger document files, there are many free online file compressors that you can use to make your document smaller before uploading.

My document isn't uploading.

First check that the document isn't corrupted by opening it outside of the NaturalReader app. If it cannot be opened normally, it may be corrupted.

Also check the file size. If it's over 200 mb (pdf) or 50 mb (non-pdf), you may have to compress it first before uploading.

If the document is a supported file type that is not corrupted nor too large, please contact us (Account > Contact Us). Describe the error in detail (such as if the upload hangs, if the screen freezes, etc) and include the error message if you encountered any.

It's skipping reading some parts of the document.

The AI Smart Text Filtering is meant to force the voices to read only relevant parts of the document, but depending on the document format it may not always work perfectly.

If it's skipping text near the top or bottom margins for example, you can turning off the AI Filter and manually set the margins instead. While the document is opened, click on AI from the toolbar. Under Filter out Header / Footer , choose Manually set margins then select SET . Click/tap and drag the red lines or click - and + next to the margin percentages to include or exclude text on the page. Text outside the margins will be skipped. Exit to save your settings.

How can I get it to read text in brackets or parentheses?

Check your settings of the AI Smart Filtering to select whether you prefer to have text in parentheses skipped. While the document is opened, click on AI from the toolbar. Under Skip URLs or text in brackets , select SETTINGS . Click to select whether to skip text in round brackets ( ), square brackets [ ], or curly brackets { }. Exit to save your settings.

I hit something on my keyboard and now my document is oriented incorrectly. How can I rotate the document?

Tap R on your keyboard to rotate your document clockwise. Keep tapping until it's oriented correctly.

How can I read from my Kindle books?

Most purchased eBooks are DRM-protected, which prevents third parties from directly accessing or opening the file. DRM "digital rights management" is a security feature meant to prevent unauthorized redistribution of media.

And so DRM-protected eBooks cannot be uploaded to NaturalReader. As a work-around (for desktop only), visit https://read.amazon.com/ to login to your Kindle account and use our Chrome extension to listen to your Kindle books from the webpage.

Can I add highlights or annotations to my documents?

Yes! Our Annotation Feature was added in July 2023 to NaturalReader AI Text to Speech. It allows you to add highlights to the document and optionally add notes, which you can also export to PDF.

What is text to speech

Text to speech, also known as TTS, read aloud, or even speech synthesis . It simply means using artificial intelligence to read words aloud be; it from a PDF , email, docs, or any website. There isn’t a voice artist recording phrases or words, or even the entire article. Speech generation is done on-the-fly, in real time, with natural sounding AI voices.

And that’s the beauty of it all. You don’t have to wait. You simply press play and artificial intelligence makes the words come alive instantly, in a very natural sounding voice. You can change voices and accents across multiple languages.

Listen to any article. Easily scan any printed material and convert the image to audio.

Susy Botello

Thanks for sharing this.I love this feature. I just tweeted at you on how much I like it. The voice is great and not at all like the text-to-speech I am used to listening to. I am a podcaster and I think this will help a lot of people multitask a bit, especially if they are interrupted with incoming emails or whatever. You can read-along but continue reading if your eyes need to go elsewhere. Hope you keep this. It’s already in other web publications. I also see it in some news sites. So I think it could become a standard that readers expect when they read online. Can I vote twice?

Renato Vargas

I just started using Medium more and I absolutely love this feature. I’ve listened to my own stories and the Al does the inflections just as I would. Many complain that they can’t read their own stories, but let’s be honest. How many stories would go without an audio version if you had to do all of them yourself? I certainly appreciate it. Thanks for this!!

Oh! How cool – I love it 🙂 The voice is surprisingly natural sounding! My eyes took a much appreciated rest for a bit. I’ve been a long time subscriber to Audible on Amazon. I think this is Great 🙂 Thank you!

Paola Rios Schaaf

Super excited about this! We are all spending too much time staring at our screens. Using another sense to take in the great content at Medium is awesome.

Hi Warren, I am one of those small, randomly selected people, and I ABSOLUTELY love this feature. I have consumed more ideas than I ever have on Medium. And also as a non-native English speaker, this is really helping me to improve my pronunciation. Keep this forevermore! Love, Ananya:)

This is the single most important feature you can role out for me. I simply don’t have the time to read all the articles I would like to on Medium. If I could listen to the articles I could consume at least 3X the amount of Medium content I do now.

Andrew Picken

Love this feature Warren. I use it when I’m reading, helps me churn through reading and also stay focused on the article (at a good speed) when my willpower is low! Keeping me more engaged..

I was THRILLED the other day when I saw the audio option. I didn’t know how it got there, but I pressed play, and then I was blown away hearing the words that I wrote being narrated

Neeramitra Reddy

LOVE THISSS. As someone who loves audio almost as much as reading, this is absolute gold

What is text to speech (TTS)?

Text-to-speech goes by a few names. Some refer to it as TTS,  read aloud , or even speech synthesis ; for the more engineered name. Today, it simply means using  artificial intelligence  to read words aloud be; it from a PDF, email, docs, or any website. Instantly turn text into audio. Listen in English, Italian, Portuguese,  Spanish , or more and choose your accent and character to personalize your experience.

How does AI text to speech work?

Beautifully. Speech synthesis works by installing an app like Speechify either on your device or as a browser extension. AI scans the words on the page and  reads it out loud , without any lag. You can change the default voice to a custom voice, change accents, languages, and even increase or decrease the speaking rate.

AI has made significant progress in synthesizing voices. It can pick up on formatted text and change tone accordingly. Gone are the days where the voices sounded  robotic . Speechify is revolutionizing that.

Once you install the TTS mobile app, you can easily convert text to speech from any website within your browser, read aloud your email, and more. If you install it as a  browser extension , you can do just the same on your laptop. The web version is OS agnostic. Mac or Windows, no problem.

What does TTS mean?

TTS, which stands for Text-to-Speech, also known as speech synthesis, is a transformative technology that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to convert written text into remarkably realistic spoken words. TTS systems are crucial for enhancing accessibility, especially for individuals with learning disabilities and visual impairments, by allowing any text to be read aloud.

What is the text-to-speech service?

A text-to-speech service is a tool, like Speechify text to speech, that transforms your written words into spoken words. Imagine typing out a message and having it read out loud by a digital voice – that’s what TTS services, like Speechify TTS do.

What are the benefits of text to speech?

TTS technology offers many benefits, like helping those with reading difficulties, providing rest for your eyes, multitasking by listening to content, improving pronunciation and language learning, and making content accessible to a wider audience.

How is Speechify TTS better than Murf AI text to speech, Google Voice, or TTSReader?

Speechify TTS stands out by offering a more natural and human-like voice quality, a wider range of customization options, and user-friendly integration across devices. Plus, our dedication to accessibility means that we ensure a seamless and inclusive experience for all users.

• Step #1 : Write or paste your text in the input box. You also have the option of uploading a txt file.
• Step #2 : Choose your desired language and speaker. You can try out different speakers if there are more available and choose the one you prefer.
• Step #3 : Choose the speed of reading. You can set up the text to be read out loud faster or slower than the default.
• Step #4 : Choose the font for the text. We recommend a smaller font if you have a large text and want to avoid scrolling, or a bigger font to follow the text while easily read aloud.
• Step #5 : Tick the “I’m not a robot” checkbox in the bottom right of the screen.
• Step #6 : Press the play button on the bottom of the text box to hear your text read out loud.

We have languages available for the following regions:

• Middle East
• South-East Asia

Benefits of using text to speech

TTS is widely used as assistive technology that helps people with reading and visual impairments understand a text. For example:

• Visually impaired individuals greatly benefit from having a program read texts out loud to them.
• Dyslexic individuals will also benefit from a text to talk reader because they can understand texts more easily.
• Children with reading impairments can use text readers to understand lessons easier.
• A text to voice tool is also of great help for people with severe speech impairments. Our web browser TTS tool allows them to type what they want to say and instantly play the audio to the person they wish to communicate with.

Other benefits of reading text aloud:

• People learning or communicating in non-native languages can use text to speech as a tool for learning how to spell words correctly and express themselves fluently in their desired language. It’s beneficial when traveling to a country where that language is spoken, and one wants to communicate with locals in their native language.
• Younger people in multilingual families might find it challenging to communicate with grandparents who still reside in their native countries. Text to speech can bridge the linguistic gap and help strengthen family bonds.
• Muti-taskers and busy people, in general, can use text to speech online to get the latest news.

What is text to speech?

Text to speech is a tool or program that takes text or words input by the user and reads them out loud. It’s used as an assistive technology for people with reading, visual and speech impairments and as a productivity tool.

How does text to speech work?

Text to speech tools use speech synthesis to read texts out loud. The simplest form of speech synthesis uses snippets of human speech to deliver a coherent and natural-sounding message. These snippets are taken from vast libraries of human sounds, words, phrases etc., and they can be used to verbalize almost anything digitally.

@MURFAISTUDIO

Murf allows me to create TTS voiceovers in a matter of minutes. Previously, I had a tedious process of sending scripts out to agencies and waited days to get voiceovers back. With Murf, I can make changes whenever I like, diversify my speaker portfolio by picking new voices instantly, and even ramp up my course localization.

Murf it's an amazing text-to-speech AI voice generator, easy to work with, flexible and reliable. Its voices, non-pro and pro (either English, Spanish, and French), are both so real that many clients of mine have been surprised to know that they were not from professional voice-over actors.

I recently tried murf.ai and I have to say I am thoroughly impressed. The quality of the generated voice is exceptional and very realistic, which is important for my business needs. The platform is user-friendly and easy to navigate, and the range of voices available is impressive.

This website is so easy and clear that you will find yourself mastering all the tools in no time. The fact that regenerating the voice with different voices, punctuations, and tones does not deduct from your allowed minutes is so fair and reasonable. And the price is affordable too. Highly recommended

This is the most human-like voice I was able to find. It's very lively,and I found it suitable for many types of videos including marketing and e-learning, it kept my audience engaged!

I just started to create a video channel about historical figures, and Murf.ai really brings them to life. I found my top voice for my scripts, and the easy integration of video elements makes it a breeze to create informative videos. I also like the easy changes one can make to the tone of voice from within the editor.

Text to Speech: What is it and how does it works?

In essence, text to speech is the generation of synthesized speech from text. It was primarily designed as an assistive technology to help individuals with hearing impairments, visual and learning disabilities, and aged citizens to understand and consume content in a better manner. Today, the applications of TTS systems have grown manifold, and range from content creation to voiceover generation to customer service, and more. With a touch of a button, TTS can take words on a computer or other digital device and convert them into audio files. Today, the technology is used to create narratives for explainer videos or product demos , turn a book into an audio book, generate voiceovers for elearning materials, training videos, ads and commercials, YouTube videos, or podcasts, among other things.

How does TTS work?

Text to speech software leverages AI and deep learning algorithms to process the written input and sythesize a spoken output. The written text is first broken down into individual words and phrases by the TTS software’s text analysis component and then various rules and algorithms are applied to determine the appropriate pronunciation, inflection, and emphasis for each word. The speech synthesis component of the software then takes this information along with pre-recorded sound samples of individual phonemes and uses it to generate the spoken words and sentences, which is then spoken out loud using a synthesized voice generated by a computer or other device. 

Top Five Use Cases of Text to Speech Software

From increasing brand visibility and customer traction to improving customer service and boosting customer engagement to helping people with visual impairments, reading difficulties, and learning disabilities, text to speech is proving to be a game-changing technology across industries. 

Considering the myriad of benefits offered by TTS technology and how simple they make information retention, businesses are integrating text to speech into their workflow in one form or another. Here is a glimpse of all the ways text to speech is currently being utilized:

TTS in Assistive Technology 

For quite some time now, text to speech software has been used as an accessibility tool for individuals with a variety of special needs linked to Dyslexia, visual impairments, or other disabilities that make it difficult to read traditional text. Using TTS platforms, people facing such problems can convert text to speech and learn by listening on the go. Text to speech solutions also improves literacy and comprehension skills. When used in language education, they can make learning more engaging. For example, it's much easier and faster to apprehend a foreign language when listening to the live translation of written words with correct intonation and pronunciation than when reading. 

TTS in Translations

Given the fact that modern text to speech solutions come with multilingual support, brands can reach local customers by converting their content from text to audio in the local language. This will help target and connect with native-speaking customers or audiences in remote areas. 

Furthermore, text to speech solutions can also be used to translate content from one language to another. This is especially beneficial for users who come across a piece of content in a language they don't understand and can have it read aloud in their native language or a language they are adept at for better understanding.

TTS in Customer Service

With advancements in speech synthesis, it has become easier to create text and convert it to pre-recorded voices for interactive voice response calls. Today's TTS technology comes with human-like AI voices that can make natural human conversations on IVR calls. This helps contact centers provide personalized customer interactions without requiring assistance from live agents. 

TTS serves as both an inbound and outbound customer service tool. For example, when used in tandem with an IVR system, TTS solutions can provide personalized information to callers, such as greeting a customer by name, providing account information, confirming details about the order, payment, or appointment, and more. Furthermore, by tapping into the extensive range of languages, accents, and a wide variety female and male voices offered by TTS software, companies can provide an experience that matches their customer's profiles or help promote an image for their brand. 

TTS in Automotive Industry

Text to speech solutions help make connected and autonomous cars safer and sound truly unique, begetting an on-road revolution. They can be used in in-car conversational systems for navigational prompts and map data, infotainment systems to read aloud information about the car, such as fuel level or tire pressure, and swap music and voice assistants to place phone calls, read messages, and more.

TTS in Healthcare

In the healthcare industry, text to speech solutions can be used to read aloud patient information, instructions for taking medication, and provide information to doctors and other medical professionals about upcoming appointments, scheduling calls, and more. 

Why text to speech matters for businesses?

It's an exciting time to stake your claim in the realm of speech synthesis. There are a number of key industries where the text to speech technology has already succeeded in making a dent. Here are a few different ways in which businesses can harness the power of text to speech and save money and time:

Enhances customer experience

Any business can leverage TTS to alleviate human agent workload and offer customized conversational customer support. By integrating these solutions with IVR systems, companies can automate customer interactions, facilitate smart and personalized self-service by providing voice responses in the customer's language and remove communication barriers. Furthermore, organizations can also use TTS to make AI-enabled routine calls to inform customers about promotional offers, payment reminders, and much more. That said, by using text to speech in voice-activated chatbots, businesses can provide customers, especially the visually impaired, with a more immersive experience, thereby enriching the customer experience.

Global market penetration

Text to speech solutions offer synthetic voices in multiple languages enabling businesses to create content in several different languages and reach customers across different countries worldwide. Organizations can build trust with customers by creating voiceovers for ads, commercials, product demos, explainer videos, and PowerPoint presentations, among other content pieces in regional dialects and native languages. 

Increases Web Presence

That said, with the help of TTS solutions, businesses can provide an audio version of their content in addition to a written version, enabling more accessibility to a broader audience, who can choose whether to read or listen to it based on their preferences. This increases the brand's web presence. Moreover, using text to speech, brands can create a familiar, recognizable and unique voice across all their voice channels, making it easy for customers to identify the brand the second they hear it. This way, the brand shows up everywhere and improves its web presence.

Who else can benefit from text to speech?

Today’s online text to speech systems can generate speech that is almost indistinguishable from a human voice, making them a valuable tool for a wide range of applications, from improving accessibility for people with disabilities to providing convenient and efficient ways to communicate information.

Here is a list of everybody that can benefit immensely from using best text to speech softwares for their content and voiceover needs:

Many educators struggle to enhance the value of their curriculum while simplifying their workloads. This is where realistic text to speech technology plays a key role. Firstly, it improves accessibility for students with disabilities. Screen readers and other tools which are speech enabled can make learning an equal opportunity and enjoyable experience for those with learning and physical disabilities. Secondly, it helps teach comprehension in an effective manner. Text to speech software offers an easy way for students to listen to how words are spoken in their natural structure and following the same is easier through audio playback.

TTS software also enhances engagement and makes learning interesting for students. For example, using natural sounding text to speech voices, teachers can create engaging presentations and elearning modules that capture student’s attention. 

In marketing specifically, text to speech technology can help improve data collection, facilitate comprehensive customer profiling, and better data analysis. Online text to speech tools offer an easy way for businesses to reach a broader audience and create customized user experiences.

For instance, marketing teams can create and deliver videos to prospective clients to establish a connection and brief them on queries and complicated products or services in the language and accent the customer is comfortable with. Furthermore, AI voices enable marketing teams to create crisp, high quality professional-sounding voiceovers in a few simple steps without hiring voice actors or requiring any professional recording studios.

Text to speech generators offer authors numerous advantages. One, it serves as an editing aid and helps storytellers proof read their novels and manuscripts to identify grammatical errors and other mistakes in their drafts before publishing. Listening to their stories being read aloud also allows authors to gauge the response to their work on other people. Authors can also use realistic voice generators to convert their books into audiobooks and podcasts and broaden the reach of their work. 

From interviews about true crime to politics and science, there are all sorts of popular podcast formats today. And, regardless of how good your podcast topic is, it won’t matter if the host doesn’t have a good voice. That said, not everyone can have that best podcast voice like an old-school radio anchor or a news presenter. This is where text to speech platforms come in. You don’t have to record scripted intros, prologues, or epilogues, an AI narrator can do it for you. Through text to speech software, you can automatically create the narrative and voiceover for your podcast in the language and tone you want in a matter of minutes by simply uploading the script to the platform. 

Creating good voice overs for your animated explainer videos or product demos or games typically meant investing a lot of money on recording equipment and hiring professional voice actors. Not anymore. With AI text to speech platforms, you can add natural sounding voices to your animated video to make them more engaging and captivating. In fact, with text to speech software, you can give each character in your animated video or game, a unique voice. 

Customer Support Executives

Integrating realistic text to voice software with an IVR system enables customer service agents to concentrate more on complex customers rather than common queries. TTS-enabled IVR systems are capable of gathering information and providing responses to customers as necessary in a way that sounds just like an actual customer service agent.

Furthermore, TTS systems also eliminate the need for IVR businesses to schedule voiceover retakes months in advance. With TTS systems, businesses can render a new voiceover in minutes creating thousands of iterations within a few clicks.

Text to speech is a game-changer for students of all ages and educational levels. By converting written text into spoken words, students can enhance their learning experience and comprehension. Text to speech technology can read content out aloud, making it easier for students to absorb information while multitasking. It is particularly useful for students with dyslexia, ADHD, or other learning disabilities as it provides them with an alternative way to consume educational content. Furthermore, the tool can also be used to add narrations to presentations, explainer videos, how-to videos, and more.

Be it corporate trainers, fitness trainers, or lifestyle instructors, text to speech can be used to create engaging and accessible learning materials. For example, fitness trainers can convert written content into audio-based workout routines and personalized exercise plans. This helps to increase engagement levels and knowledge retention among the audience.

Similarly, corporate trainers can also use TTS to create presentations on employee policies and other organizational practices. It makes the coursework highly engaging and improves employee performance at many levels. Additionally, using audio course materials is a great way to respect the staff with disabilities and give everyone equal access to training.  

Content Creators 

Content creators, including social media users, bloggers, writers, influencers, and authors, can leverage text to speech to enhance their productivity and reach a broader audience.

This technology enables content creators to convert their written articles, scripts, blog posts, or eBooks into high-quality audio files quickly in multiple languages instead of manually recording the voiceover.

Consequently, it opens up new avenues for content consumption. This allows readers to listen to the content while performing other tasks or when reading isn’t feasible, such as during commutes or workouts. 

Video Producers 

Video creators can easily add voiceovers or narration to their videos, eliminating the need for hiring voice actors or spending hours recording audio. This not only saves time and resources but also ensures consistent and professional-sounding voiceovers.

Why convert Text to Audio?

Audio offers a richer experience, subconsciously engaging the listener with a continuous stream of audio.

Accumulated Audios

In woord, accumulated audios refer to the feature that allows users with a subscription to accumulate unused audios from one month to the next, as long as their subscription remains active. for example, if a user has a starter subscription which offers 10 audios per month, but only uses 5 in the first month, the remaining 5 audios will be carried over to the next month, in addition to the 10 new audios offered in that month. this means the user will have a total of 15 audios to use in the second month. this feature is designed to provide greater flexibility and convenience to users, allowing them to make the most out of their subscription by accumulating unused audios for future use., any questions we're happy to help.

When I did my initial test sample, the output was spoken a bit too fast. Do you have the capability to slow down the audio output speed ?

Yes, you have 2 options 1) Modify the speed of the audio before creating (Advanced options -> Choose Voice Speed, 1 is the default). Speaking rate/speed, in the range [0.25, 4.0]. 1.0 is the normal native speed supported by the specific voice. 2.0 is twice as fast, and 0.5 is half as fast. 2) you can use our SSML editor https://www.getwoord.com/ssml-editor to add pauses or modify the speed using SSML tags. SSML API support is only available for enterprise customers (we could enable for you if necessary).
