Unreal Speech: Text-to-Speech API for Scale

Unreal Speech is a cost-effective text-to-speech API that offers significant savings compared to other services. It is up to 10 times cheaper than Eleven Labs and Play.ht, and up to 2 times cheaper than Amazon, Microsoft, and Google.

Live Demo

Unreal Speech provides a live demo where users can generate random text in different categories such as Non-Fiction, Fiction, News, Blog, and Conversation.

Pricing

The service becomes more affordable with increased usage, starting with a free plan and offering volume discounts. The pricing structure includes an Enterprise Plan with 625 million characters per month for $4999, and additional usage is charged at $8 per 1 million characters.

Features

• High-quality audio output that rivals Amazon Polly
• Support for processing large volumes of text, such as 10,000+ pages per hour
• A short endpoint '/stream' for synchronous, instant response with up to 1,000 characters
• Customization options including voice ID, bitrate, speed, pitch, and codec
• Timestamps for words or sentences to align with the audio output

Technical Integration

Developers can integrate Unreal Speech into their applications using the provided API endpoint and sample code snippets in Python.

Subscription and Usage

Unreal Speech allows for commercial use of the generated audio, with different terms based on the subscription plan. Unused characters roll over to the next billing cycle for paid plans, and users can update their payment method or cancel their subscription through the dashboard.

Affiliate Program

Unreal Speech offers an affiliate program where participants can earn a 15% recurring commission on all paid referrals.

Multilingual Support and Custom Voices

Currently, the service offers English-speaking voices only, but multilingual support is expected within 3-6 months. Custom voice creation (voice cloning) is also in development.
