Overview
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.

62,53638Released 10mo agoNo pricingGreat AI voices, though still monotonous and robotic, or rather too neutral, with almost zero voice inflections! Excellent to read news, articles, essays, and any nonfiction books. BTW, computers should be allowed to TALK to us for free, like in the Star Trek TV series. Our future grandchildren will laugh at us for "paying" to use this everyday option, biting the hook to "monthly subscriptions" like gullible fish and then getting up to 1,000 words per month" under the so-called Pro version ;-) This is crazy!
