Disgusted with the human replacement.

Is this an audio publisher?

Is it free publishing etc?

Please let me know about this company.

http://api.ispeech.org/api/rest?apikey=developerdemokeydeveloperdemokey&action=convert&text=this%20text%20to%20speech%20sounds%20very%20pleasant.

Decent documentation, but iSpeech should separate the text to speech from the recognition

Unabridged audio rights are not always granted to the print publisher creating ebooks.

Considering that in iBooks all books are automatically accessible by using the voiceover text to speech built into the Apple OS. Yet Western civilization hasn’t ended like the crybabies in the publishing industry clanked.
