Best TTS in 2026: Blind Benchmark 2 months ago
Great comparison. xAI TTS is no longer $4.20 per million; it's $15 now.
That's awesome! I have plans to do the same thing but for android.
How long did it take you to implement this proof of concept?
The closest alternative, which offers only text-to-speech mode, is Speechify. However, they charge over $100 per year, which is significant. A lifetime license for Quickify is available for just $39, or $1.99 per month.
I don't want to seem assuming, but I haven't seen such a set of features in any application yet, really.
I am a native Android developer and decided to focus only on this platform for now, as I had no desire to mess with Electron and other web frameworks.
