There are a couple of other services in Japan that are worlds better: Voiceroid+ and VoiceText.\r\n\r\nVoiceroid+ is the most popular product in its category. It has an API somewhere because the folks who develop the Visual Novel Reader software seem to have implemented it, however I can't find any documentation. \r\n\r\nVoiceText, on the other hand, has a free and well-documented API. You can find all the information here: https://cloud.voicetext.jp/webapi/\r\n\r\nThe biggest challenge that I can see with implementation of VoiceText may be the resulting audio files. VoiceText returns results in WAV, ACC, or Ogg. MP3 does not appear to be an option.\r\n\r\nIf it's possible, I would love to have support for this in the future. Many thanks and let me know if I can help make this happen!"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/AwesomeTTS/AwesomeTTS/issues/comments/117277753","html_url":"https://github.com/AwesomeTTS/AwesomeTTS/issues/71#issuecomment-117277753","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/AwesomeTTS/AwesomeTTS/issues/71","id":117277753,"user":{"login":"cjkaminski","id":1431353,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1431353?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/cjkaminski","html_url":"https://github.com/cjkaminski","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cjkaminski/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cjkaminski/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cjkaminski/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cjkaminski/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cjkaminski/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cjkaminski/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cjkaminski/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cjkaminski/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cjkaminski/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-06-30T17:45:48Z","updated_at":"2015-06-30T17:45:48Z","body":"I read in one of the other threads that ANKI has lame support.
