Show HN: Human Text-To-Speech API

Is anyone interested in an API that would accept text as input and return a MP3 of someone reading the text within a couple of hours? We have a couple of US-based people who could do the job really well in a couple of minutes.

Command: POST /tts { text: "Hello John. Thanks for joining us today.", voice:"female", web hook: "../webhook/response" }

Webhook response (a few minutes later): POST /webhook/response { file: "voice.mp3", cost: 0.07 }

What are the restrictions? Are you going to filter some words? Sex? Violence? Nazism?

What is the cost model?

DO you have some free samples?
