Why Choose Speech Central?
While OpenAI’s API provides the foundation for advanced TTS capabilities, it is not an end-user solution. Most users will require a dedicated TTS application to effectively utilize this technology. Each user may have unique needs, so the ideal app can vary. However, a versatile and customizable app like Speech Central is well-suited to accommodate a wide range of use cases. Our app offers extensive support for various document formats, customizable audio controls, and features designed to enhance productivity and accessibility. For instance, Speech Central addresses common challenges associated with PDF text-to-speech on iPhone, providing solutions that other apps may lack.
