Looks great. I've waiting for a service like that ever since Microsoft released their paper on speech synthesis using voice samples. Feature requests: - make the voice generation available via API so devs can embed that in their app - expose a streaming API like Polly so we can feed it text in real time and get the voice as an audio stream - make it Hipaa compliant and have a plans that offer signing a BAA

I'll be your first customer if you do this! You can get in touch with me at @juliennakache

We have an API - https://docs.play.ht/reference/api-getting-started

We have a beta streaming endpoint but the latency is not real time yet (something we're working on) and are adding an endpoint to create voices.
