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.

Facts about the us english language:.

English was brought to Britain in the mid 5th to 7th centuries. If you were to ask those who don't speak English whether or not it's a hard language to learn, you'd likely get more than a few who insist that it is among the hardest.

Though, it can be argued that English is easy since it has no gender, no word agreement, and no cases. Yet, it does have words such as through, threw, and thru, all sounds the same, but are spelled differently, and can't be used interchangeably.

English also has polish, and Polish. One is used to make furniture shine, while the other is a language. Or take resume and resume, one is used when you're filling out job applications, and the other is used when you want to tell someone to carry on with what they're doing.

As you can see above, the English language can be challenging, however, it's far from the most difficult language to learn. With a bit of study, and some practice, almost anyone can learn English. One of the best ways to learn the language is to find a friend who speaks English, and is willing to have conversations with you. This will help you immerse yourself in the language and pick up on the nuances, and speech patterns of English. With a bit of practice, you'll soon be speaking English like it's your native language.

What Is An Accents

So, what exactly is an accent? An accent refers to the unique way individuals pronounce words, a distinctive mode of speech. It arises from people hailing from different regions or countries, each bringing their unique way of speaking—this diversity in pronunciation is what we term as 'accents'.

Every country, and often different regions within the same country, has its own distinct accent.

Example: Consider the word "water." In the United States, it’s commonly pronounced as ‘w??t?r,’ with a soft ‘r’ sound. However, in the United Kingdom, it might be pronounced as ‘w??t?’ with a silent ‘r’ at the end, showcasing the difference in accents within the English language itself.

Using our Accent Generator tool, you can listen to words over and over and hear how they sound different in each accent. It’s great for students, actors, people who love languages, or anyone who’s just curious! So, if you want to learn and have fun, come try Accent Generator and hear the world of accents!"

If you are using Chrome, you might notice a limited selection of available accents. For a broader range of countries and accents, consider trying Microsoft Edge .

Typing and Generating Speech

Next, you have to type words or even paste a whole paragraph into a box. The second step is to resolve the captcha. Then, hit the 'Convert’ button! You’ll hear those words in the accent you picked! Cool, right? You can listen over and over, and try as many accents as you like. It’s a super fun way to learn and find out new things!

@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.

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

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 artificial intelligence 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 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.

This web app allows you to generate voice audio from text - no login needed, and it's completely free! It uses your browser's built-in voice synthesis technology, and so the voices will differ depending on the browser that you're using. You can download the audio as a file, but note that the downloaded voices may be different to your browser's voices because they are downloaded from an external text-to-speech server. If you don't like the externally-downloaded voice, you can use a recording app on your device to record the "system" or "internal" sound while you're playing the generated voice audio.

Want more voices? You can download the generated audio and then use voicechanger.io to add effects to the voice. For example, you can make the voice sound more robotic, or like a giant ogre, or an evil demon. You can even use it to reverse the generated audio, randomly distort the speed of the voice throughout the audio, add a scary ghost effect, or add an "anonymous hacker" effect to it.

Note: If the list of available text-to-speech voices is small, or all the voices sound the same, then you may need to install text-to-speech voices on your device. Many operating systems (including some versions of Android, for example) only come with one voice by default, and the others need to be downloaded in your device's settings. If you don't know how to install more voices, and you can't find a tutorial online, you can try downloading the audio with the download button instead. As mentioned above, the downloaded audio uses external voices which may be different to your device's local ones.

You're free to use the generated voices for any purpose - no attribution needed. You could use this website as a free voice over generator for narrating your videos in cases where don't want to use your real voice. You can also adjust the pitch of the voice to make it sound younger/older, and you can even adjust the rate/speed of the generated speech, so you can create a fast-talking high-pitched chipmunk voice if you want to.

Note: If you have offline-compatible voices installed on your device (check your system Text-To-Speech settings), then this web app works offline! Find the "add to homescreen" or "install" button in your browser to add a shortcut to this app in your home screen. And note that if you don't have an internet connection, or if for some reason the voice audio download isn't working for you, you can also use a recording app that records your devices "internal" or "system" sound.

What is speech to text? The complete guide

This complete guide to speech-to-text will walk you through everything you need to know about this technology, including: what it is, how it works, and why we need it.

Featured writer

Speech-to-text (also known as speech recognition or voice recognition) is a technology that converts spoken language into written text. It's the digital ears that listen and the virtual hands that type to translate our voices into words on a screen. This seemingly simple concept opens up a world of possibilities, from making our daily lives more convenient to transforming entire industries.

• Drafting emails while stuck in traffic
• Transcribing meetings without furiously scribbling notes
• Providing real-time captions for videos and real-time events

These are just a few examples of how speech-to-text is changing life and work for individuals and businesses. 

Whether you're a curious individual looking to boost productivity or a business leader seeking to innovate, speech-to-text can change the way you get things done in today's voice-first world. 

This complete guide to speech-to-text will walk you through everything you need to know about this technology, including: what it is, how it works, and why we need it. 

What is speech-to-text technology?

Speech-to-text technology is a sophisticated system that converts spoken words into written text. It's the bridge between the auditory world of human speech and the visual world of written language that enables machines to understand and transcribe spoken language.

Speech-to-text technology relies on a combination of linguistics, computer science, and artificial intelligence to function. Here's a simplified breakdown of how one exemplary type of speech-to-text model works:

• Audio Input: The system receives an audio signal, typically from a microphone or an audio file.
• Signal Processing: The audio is preprocessed for transcoding and audio gain normalization.
• Deep Learning Speech Recognition Model: The audio signal is fed into a speech recognition deep learning model trained on a large corpus of audio-transcription pairs, which generates the transcription of the input audio.
• Text formatting: The raw transcription generated by the speech recognition model is formatted for better readability. This includes adding punctuation, converting phrases like "one hundred dollars" to "$100," capitalizing proper nouns, and other enhancements.

Modern speech-to-text systems often use machine learning algorithms (particularly deep learning neural networks) to improve their accuracy and adapt to different accents, languages, and speech patterns.

Types of speech-to-text engines

There are several types of speech-to-text engines to consider , each with its own advantages, disadvantages, and ideal use cases.

The right choice for you will depend on your needs for accuracy requirements, language support, integration capabilities, and data privacy concerns.

Cloud-based vs. on-premise

• Cloud-based: These systems process audio on remote servers, offering scalability and no infrastructure maintenance. They're ideal for businesses handling large volumes of data or requiring real-time transcription. 
• On-premise: These systems run locally on the user's hardware and can function without internet connectivity. The cost is sometimes less than cloud-based, however, initial costs for hardware and ongoing costs of maintenance and support staff can negate these savings.

Open-source vs. proprietary

• Open-source: These engines allow users to view and sometimes modify and distribute the source code, though with specified limitations. They offer flexibility and customization options but may require more technical expertise to implement and maintain.
• Proprietary : Developed and maintained by specific companies, these systems can be tailor-made for specific use-cases, such as industry-relevant audio as we do. Look for proprietary engines that are also continuously updated.

How does speech-to-text work?

Understanding the deeper technical processes helps you appreciate the complexity behind the seemingly simple conversion of speech into text and why factors like audio quality and accents can affect the accuracy of this process.

1. Audio Preprocessing

Before any analysis can begin, the audio input needs to be converted into a format usable by a speech recognition deep learning model. This involves:

• Transcoding: Change the audio format to a standard form (See best audio file formats for speech-to-text) . 
• Normalization: Adjusting the volume to a standard level.
• Segmentation: Breaking the audio into manageable chunks.

2. Deep Learning Speech Recognition Model

This process maps the audio signal to a sequence of words. Modern systems use end-to-end deep learning models, such as Transformer and Conformer. The Conformer model is an enhanced version of the Transformer, designed to better capture speech dynamics, making it particularly suitable for speech recognition. The model is trained on a large dataset of audio-text pairs to learn the mapping from the audio signal to the corresponding transcription. The model implicitly acquires and utilizes knowledge of how each word should sound and how different words are likely to connect to form a sentence.

To be more precise, the model usually generates the likelihood of each word—or linguistic unit—being spoken for each short time frame. A program called a decoder then generates the most probable word sequence based on the per-linguistic-unit likelihood values produced by the deep learning speech recognition model.

3. Text Formatting

The word sequence generated by the deep learning speech recognition model often does not have punctuation and is all lowercase. Also, entities, such as emails, URLs, and numbers, are typically spelled out. The final step converts the raw word sequence generated by the speech recognition model into a more readable text format. This often involves processes called inverse text normalization, capitalization, and true-casing, and they are accomplished by using rule-based algorithms or text processing neural network models. 

Factors affecting speech-to-text accuracy

While that might sound relatively straightforward, there are a few factors that can muddy up audio files and impact the accuracy of speech-to-text systems:

• Audio quality: Clear, high-quality audio with minimal background noise yields the best results. Poor microphone quality or low bitrate audio can significantly reduce accuracy.
• Accents and dialects: Systems trained on a specific set of accents may struggle with others. 
• Background noise and reverberation: Ambient sounds and room reverberation can interfere with speech recognition. Noise cancellation using microphone arrays often results in improved speech recognition accuracy, whereas the usefulness of monaural noise reduction systems is not well established.
• Speaking style: Clear, well-enunciated speech is easier to recognize. Rapid speech, mumbling, or overlapping voices can challenge the system.
• Vocabulary: Uncommon words, technical jargon, or proper nouns may be misrecognized. Some systems allow for custom vocabulary to improve accuracy in specific domains.
• Language and context: Multi-language environments can be challenging. Understanding context helps in disambiguating similar-sounding words.
• Speaker variability: Differences in pitch, speed, and vocal characteristics can affect accuracy. Some systems can adapt to individual speakers over time.

Speechify operates on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model. Its streaming text to speech runs through a variety of online AI text-to-speech apps, including:

• Speechify Chrome Extension
• Speechify iOS App
• Speechify Android App
• Speechify Microsoft Edge Add-On
• Speechify Text to Speech Web App
• Speechify AI Studio

Note that these apps may integrate with web browsers—but they don’t work seamlessly within your LMS. That means students have to open extra apps to use TTS, which creates a barrier known to depress usage of helpful learning tools.

Education-software developers can also get Speechify TTS through an API, and the company offers special packages for educators. You can run Speechify on Windows or Mac, and on an iPhone, iPad, or Android device. Their voices are comparable to those offered by Amazon Polly TTS.

User-facing consumer apps are the core of Speechify’s offerings, however, and all their cloud-based TTS solutions require an internet connection. With Speechify’s premium version, you can download speech files. That’s the only way students can use TTS offline with Speechify.

ReadSpeaker has a lot more deployment options—both online and off. Streaming TTS products from ReadSpeaker include:

• ReadSpeaker for Education  (TTS for HTML, OCR, documents, etc)
• ReadSpeaker TextAid (AT with TTS and reading/writing tools)
• SpeakUp (offline reading)

Unlike Speechify, ReadSpeaker solutions can also run on your school’s private server. They can run on an educator, administrator, or student’s desktop. Instructional designers can even embed ReadSpeaker TTS into original educational devices.

ReadSpeaker’s on-premise solutions are the gold standard in data security; after all, attackers have a hard time accessing systems that don’t connect with the open internet!

This advanced security helps those companies that need to keep sensitive training materials ring-fenced, or to protect learner data, bringing ReadSpeaker tools into compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), and the U.S. Department of Education’s student privacy policies .

With ReadSpeaker, schools can also run TTS on their private servers; within the institution’s IVR systems; in custom educational applications; on school desktops; or on teaching devices. This is possible thanks to offline ReadSpeaker solutions including:

• ReadSpeaker speechServer (server-based TTS)
• ReadSpeaker speechServer MRCP (standards-based TTS for IVR systems)
• ReadSpeaker speechEngine SDK (desktop/application-based TTS)
• ReadSpeaker speechEngine SDK Embedded (offline TTS that runs on any device)

ReadSpeaker also offers real-time text-to-speech solutions for educational game developers. These TTS game-engine integrations help developers make more accessible educational games and digital training systems in leading platforms like Unity and Unreal Engine.

Speechify Voice Cloning Vs. ReadSpeaker Custom AI Voices for Educators

Custom AI voices allow educators to create new voices for their learning content. In the field of corporate learning, a custom voice supports audio branding in training materials.

Both Speechify and ReadSpeaker offer such custom TTS voices. But they arrive at these solutions in very different ways.

• Speechify provides a self-service voice-cloning app . The app records the user speaking, then generates a synthetic version of that speaker’s voice.
• ReadSpeaker creates custom TTS voices to meet any need. Our team of speech scientists and AI engineers use special recordings from trained actors (or a chosen representative) to train an original AI voice model.

Speechify’s voice-cloning app works quickly. It can clone a voice with as little as 30 seconds of data.

But in an AI model, limited data leads to limited quality. ReadSpeaker’s white-glove approach ensures a lifelike final product. It also gives corporate learning professionals more control over their (literal) brand voice. Rather than simply cloning a speaker, ReadSpeaker can create a composite voice that expresses brand personality in precise detail.

There are also ethical concerns surrounding self-service voice cloning software. Few safeguards prevent users from using Speechify’s app to clone a voice without the speaker’s permission.

At ReadSpeaker, we generate our own training data under contract with all stakeholders. We build AI ethics into our business model, ensuring users get great TTS voices that won’t create legal or reputational risk—an essential consideration for schools and corporate training departments alike.

ReadSpeaker has a long history of specialization in TTS solutions for education and corporate learning . As we’ve mentioned, we offer seamless TTS integrations with all major learning management systems . This is a key point of comparison with Speechify, which, rather than providing controls within the LMS, introduces yet another app students have to open.

Opening apps—or even new browser tabs—can be a stumbling block for learners with dyslexia, learning disabilities, visual impairments, or unfamiliarity with the language. ReadSpeaker’s LMS compatibility simplifies student access to TTS for greater ease of use.

Finally, ReadSpeaker offers ongoing linguist support to ensure perfect pronunciation—even for the specialized vocabulary of a science course. Speechify doesn’t match this support. Let’s take a closer look at this distinction.

Speechify and Pronunciation Accuracy

No text-to-speech engine can pronounce everything perfectly, every time. There are simply too many variables in language: homographs, proper nouns, technical jargon, acronyms, etc.

That means TTS engines need ways to update mispronounced terms as they arise.

Speechify’s only apparent means of correcting mispronunciations is for users to retype words phonetically, using Wikipedia’s pronunciation respelling key .

This is an ad hoc approach that doesn’t really fix the problem.

ReadSpeaker and Pronunciation Accuracy

ReadSpeaker doesn’t just offer a TTS app; we build ongoing partnerships with educators. Pronunciation assistance is a big part of that relationship.

At ReadSpeaker, we provide custom pronunciation dictionaries. Add a term and the TTS engine will pronounce it perfectly forever. In other words, you fix the problem once, and it stays fixed.

If you run into any trouble, our speech scientists will be happy to help. The ReadSpeaker team ensures perfect pronunciation for any use case, including highly technical subjects rife with complex terminology.

How Educators Choose Between ReadSpeaker for Education and Speechify

ReadSpeaker for Education and Speechify have a lot of benefits in common. They both offer a browser extension that reads websites aloud, enhancing the learner’s reading experience considerably. They both offer a document reader that can handle ePub, PDF files, and Google Docs.

They both have hundreds of voice options and very high speech quality. They both offer a student-friendly interface for TTS control. Not surprisingly, you’re likely to find either topping a “best text-to-speech” list.

The bottom line is this:

If you’re looking for a TTS mobile app to audio-enable social media pages, online tutorials, or other casual text, Speechify might be the right choice. It offers a limited free version as well as paid plans. (Some user reviews report charges during the free trial, difficulty canceling the service, and dissatisfaction with high prices.)

speechRecognitionLanguage zh-CN Recognizing NOMATCH

I use WebSocket to receive audio stream data captured by the browser.

If I use default English, everything looks good, but when I try to switch languages, it almost cannot recognize any words.

The relevant code is as follows.

------ websocket processing ------ added 28-08-24 21:02:22

The client mainly captures audio stream and sends the Int16Array data through WebSocket.

The server directly connects the streaming data to the corresponding audioPushStream.

• speech-to-text

Thanks for reaching out to us and reporting this issue.

I used the below code and it worked fine for me.

Please note that, I ran it from the C# sample solution at cognitive-services-speech-sdk/samples/csharp/dotnet-windows/console at master.

Note the line setting the SpeechRecognitionLanguage to zh-CN . (Default is en-US ).

Hope this helps.

• Thanks for the reply, I noticed that you are using a file stream, but I am using a websocket to receive the audio stream from the browser side, and it seems that the problem is with the websocket handling here. I have added more code blocks about WebSocket data processing. –  Goo Commented 2 days ago
• Thanks for clarifying. Sharing a few suggestions: - As mentioned in my above sample code, try adding more detailed error handling to capture any specific issues that might be occurring. For example, log the errorDetails from the NoMatch event to get more insights. - Also enable the Speech SDK logging and check if any errors in the logs: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/speech-service/… Hope this helps. –  NaveenBaliga Commented 2 days ago
• Thank you for your suggestion, I'll give your suggestion a try and if it works out, I will add more details to the issue. –  Goo Commented 2 days ago
