About Unreal Speech

Unreal Speech is a Text-to-Speech API tool that offers high-quality voice synthesis at a fraction of the cost of competitors. With its dramatically improved engine, Unreal Speech now provides 48 different voices across 8 languages: US & UK English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Japanese, Hindi, and Mandarin Chinese. A standout feature of Unreal Speech is its cost-effectiveness, offering rates up to 11x cheaper than Eleven Labs and significant savings compared to other providers like Play.ht, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. The tool provides flexible pricing options, including a free plan and several paid plans with volume discounts based on character usage. Unreal Speech maintains high performance and reliability with 99.9% uptime and low latency of 0.3 seconds. The service can handle massive volumes of text-to-speech processing, capable of converting over 10,000+ pages per hour without compromising quality. A key technical advancement is the ability to stream both audio and per-word timestamps simultaneously (multiplex), making it ideal for applications requiring precise audio-text synchronization. This feature, combined with its multilingual capabilities, makes Unreal Speech suitable for a wide range of applications from content creation to accessibility solutions. The platform has attracted notable customers including Readwise.io, Matter (YC S20), and Listening.io, whose CEO reported a high-quality listening experience while saving 75% on text-to-speech costs compared to Amazon Polly. Unreal Speech provides comprehensive API documentation and a live demo for developers to test the tool's capabilities. Made in San Francisco, the company offers support for custom solutions through their website.
