Speech Central, a leading text-to-speech app available for iOS and macOS, has introduced support for Google Cloud Text-to-Speech voices in its latest version. This exciting update brings high-quality AI-powered voices to the app, enhancing the listening experience for users who need text read aloud with maximum clarity and natural tone.
Google Cloud’s WaveNet and Other Voices
Google Cloud Text-to-Speech is renowned for its **WaveNet** voices, which are powered by advanced neural networks to produce speech that sounds remarkably human-like. WaveNet, a deep learning model developed by Google’s DeepMind, uses thousands of hours of recorded human speech to create voices that can capture subtle nuances like intonation, rhythm, and stress. This results in **natural, expressive voices** that can make the experience of listening to text more enjoyable.
In addition to WaveNet, Google offers a range of **standard voices** and other advanced **neural network-based options** that provide flexibility depending on the use case. Whether users want highly realistic voices for reading long articles or simple voice outputs for quick content, Google Cloud’s voices can deliver.
Google Cloud Free Tier—A Cost-Effective Solution for Many
For users concerned about costs, Google Cloud offers a **free tier** that can make these high-quality voices accessible without breaking the bank. The free tier provides:
– **1 million characters per month** in Google Cloud Text-to-Speech at no cost.
This is ideal for casual users or those who need to experiment with AI-powered voice services before committing to larger volumes. Activating the free tier is simple—users can sign up for a Google Cloud account, and they automatically receive access to this tier as part of the Google Cloud services.
Speech Central: The App with the Most AI Voices in One Place
With the integration of Google Cloud Text-to-Speech, Speech Central now offers **the most extensive selection of AI text-to-speech engines** in one app. Alongside Google Cloud, the app also supports **Microsoft Azure** and **OpenAI voices**, ensuring that users have access to the best text-to-speech technology available. Whether you are a professional, student, or someone with visual impairments, Speech Central is the go-to app for turning written text into high-quality audio on both iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
