Turn the web into Speech

With Woord, you can bring your applications to life, by adding life-like speech capabilities. For example, in E-learning and education, you can build applications leveraging Woord’s Text-to-Speech (TTS) capability to help people with reading disabilities. Woord can be used to help the blind and visually impaired consume digital content (eBooks, news etc). Woord can be used in announcement systems in public transportation and industrial control systems for notifications and emergency announcements. There are a wide range of devices such as set-top boxes, smart watches, tablets, smartphones and IoT devices, which can leverage Woord for providing audio output. Woord can be used in telephony solutions to voice Interactive Voice Response systems. Applications such as quiz games, animations, avatars or narration generation are common use-cases for cloud-based TTS solutions like Woord.

Your billing cycle starts the day you purchase one of our Plans and ends the same day of the next month or next year (if you are paying annually). Instead, the limit of audios that you can make is renewed on the first day of each month. In other words, if you buy one of our plans on April 10th, your Audios credit will be activated that same day. The next payment will be made automatically on May 10th, however, on May 1st the Audio counter will be reset and it will start again.

You can manage all of this on your own from your dashboard!
