The /stream endpoint delivers audio in 300ms with synchronous response for up to 1,000 characters. Product maintains 99.9% uptime and 0.3s latency, enabling low-latency use cases like live chat voiceovers, accessibility features, or interactive applications.
Unreal Speech provides REST API with code samples in Python, JavaScript, and React Native. Multiple endpoints (/stream, /speech, /synthesisTasks, /streamWithTimestamps) support different use cases. Free tier with 250K characters allows testing before commitment.
Unreal Speech is 11x cheaper than ElevenLabs and offers production-ready audio with 48 voices across 8 languages. Users can process high volumes (10,000+ pages/hour) at significantly lower per-character rates, with volume discounts that decrease costs further as usage scales.
The /synthesisTasks endpoint handles up to 500,000 characters asynchronously with callback support. Users can submit large jobs, receive a TaskId, and poll status independently. Processing takes ~1s per 800 characters, suitable for batch workflows and high-volume content generation.
Product provides per-word and per-sentence timestamps via /streamWithTimestamps endpoint and standard API responses. Timestamps include start/end times and text offsets, enabling word-by-word highlighting and precise synchronization with visual content like video or interactive applications.
