Cons
  • The software is not user-friendly- it has a complicated interface and requires a lot of training to set up.
  • The pricing is also costly - so for an individual user, not on a company plan, this is not affordable.

Alternatives Considered
Having used both this service and IBM Watson's Text to Speech, I can safely say that IBM's product comes out on top but this is a close call as both products are very good in their own right. That being said, this Azure service lacks some of the extra functionality that can be found in other products such as broader multi-language support. This product is also more costly than some other alternatives which is a con in my opinion. Azure does, however, come out on top in regards to customer support and general support of the product as it is supported by Microsoft which also means that it integrates well with other parts of the Microsoft suite.
