Text to speech technologies are now commonly used in mobile apps, websites and desktop applications to improve user experience and understanding. Today we are pleased to launch an API service that will make it possible for anybody to insert Welsh text to speech technologies into their websites and software.

Using the open source Festival Speech Synthesis System, and a Welsh language speech model we previously created our new web API makes it easy to automatically convert any Welsh text into audio in realtime. This cloud service needs no setup on the user’s side making it instantly widely accessible and available to all.

Below, you can find an example of how this voice could be inserted into this page, with only one line of code!

You can get started with the API today by signing up to our API Centre and creating your API key.
