    I advise Watson for all scenarios where you need AI to speak. I don't use this for this goal, but I suppose that could be a good solution for tourism and travel: companies in the hospitality industry can make it easier for people to
    get around and offer tours in numerous languages, all at the same time. In telecommunications, could be used to create customized messaging that the caller can use with customers, and it can generate words from a customer’s records that are read to them in a professional and friendly voice. It's very good for English, for Italian is a little "robotic" but the pronunciation is right.

    This app works perfect in every situation but in some real time usage The voice sometime lags or fluctuate. So this app is well suited for pre-writtentext to voice conversion rather than real-time usage

    • The text to voice service of ReadSpeaker is very natural. The voice is very natural and clear. It doesn't sound much like a robot. One can find male or female voice in different accent also.
    • It not only converts the text into voice but also add emphasis on some particular point if we want to add. The most engaging part is it also take care of punctuation. The speed can also be customized.
    • It also works in real time text to voice conversion.

    • The subscription cost can be controlled as many small business cannot afford it
    • They can add some more language in their software.
    • Even though the sound is very natural yet sometimes it become very monotonous and high speed.

    This app deserves five star rating because this app can be in combined with any third-party app for the usage. Also this app can be used for people who are vision handicapped as they cannot read but they can here in their particular language which I guess is the best part of this app. Moreover, the overall experience is very value for money thing. I would suggest this app to so many people's in my company who are in customer service.

    I've never been a fan of the robotic voice of text-to-speech tools and I've always thought they sounded flat and bland. Until I tried IBM Watson Text to Speech, that is. This service uses advanced deep learning techniques to synthesize speech output in natural-sounding voices. I was blown away by how good the voices were that I've been using it for personal stuff like journaling and brainstorming sessions. And I'm definitely going to be using this for podcasting and my YouTube channel.
