Anything that requires narration is a great use case. Although WellSaid does a great job of creating more realistic sounding voices, its still not perfect if you are looking for a very authentic sounding voiceover.

Alternatives Considered
I found IBM text to speech easier to start, and the result with the English language was better than another platform There are a lot of examples and the reference described very in-depth. As a premium partner, we could access all documentation. The demo site is very good and simple to use.
