What is the difference between Standard and WaveNet voices?

Standard voices are created using traditional synthesis techniques and are more cost-effective. WaveNet voices use Google's advanced neural networks to produce audio that sounds much more natural and human-like.

Does Google Cloud TTS offer a free trial?

Yes, new users can get $300 in free credits to explore Google Cloud. Additionally, the TTS service has a permanent 'Always Free' monthly tier for a limited number of characters.

Can I use the generated audio for commercial purposes?

Yes, once you have a paid Google Cloud account and adhere to the terms of service, you can use the generated audio files commercially in your products or apps.

What audio formats can I export?

The API supports several common formats including MP3, Linear16 (WAV), Ogg Opus, and Mulaw.

How do I control the speed or pitch of the voice?

You can use SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language) tags like to adjust the rate, pitch, and volume of the generated speech.
