That really is good, just the default one is perfect some of the others sound quite bad, its strange there is such a discrepancy, but thanks for sharing anyway, planning on using this.

Cool. I have heard of it but never tried it, is it free?

Checked it out and I really like it, although the male voice sounds sad but it's natural enough. Is this a free tool?

Free upto a certain limit (not sure what the limit is. Haven't used them for ages). I think it will be okay if you don't have a big requirement. You could even bypass the api and use their translation service's tts feature (the one that speaks the words out) if you know what you are doing.

Nope I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to Google tts. Could you give me a few pointers

I've also used it several times. You can tweak it a bit with custom delays to sound as natural as possible. Additionally, you need to break words for it to naturally speak. For example, you need to rewrite plugins as plug-ins.

It depends on what you are looking for. Trying to bypass the api and use the web version? You will need a js enabled bot which needs to look like real user. It will go to g translate, type the words, and download the generated audio file. I am almost sure python already has something like this. Google it before reinventing the wheel.
For api, it's pretty simple calls.

Google is your friend, lol.
Here's what I found using g search..
You will need some python knowledge to implement this, but it looks pretty simple to me.

Basically yes. Unless you use it a huge amount.
