2. Yukumo!

This is a free-to-use text-to-speech website created using the speech synthesis library "AquesTalk," developed and sold by Aquest Corp.

It can read text in what is commonly known as "Yukkuri Voice."

While it is provided entirely free for personal use, caution is required regarding commercial use.

For use by companies or for profit-making purposes, an obligation to pay a license fee arises, so payment of the license fee to Aquest Corp. is necessary.

Yukumo!

The number of characters Yukumo! can speak is limited to 140.

If the text is longer than that, restrictions apply and it cannot be read aloud.

It is convenient for:

This is a text-to-speech site where you can read text using:

Since there is no mention of commercial use, you will need to inquire about whether it can be used for that purpose.

Disadvantages

Text-to-Speech Reader can sometimes experience bugs, such as getting stuck on the loading screen when trying to download.

This is a somewhat troublesome bug for those who want to download and use the audio.
