< Feedback on Memrise Audio Provider
Hi, thank you for your feedback. I looked into it, unfortunately neither Oxford nor Cambridge offer APIs to generate speech — they use static .mp3 files. Meaning, I can only retrieve audio for words that are in the dictionnary, not for sentences or anything more complex than a simple word. I tried Microsoft Azure TTS, which I believe is what Oxford used to generate their audio, however the standard voices don't sound natural at all (demo on https://azure-tts.herokuapp.com/), and the neural voices are much more expensive — not too willing to get there. I don't think there would be any benefits to add it as an option. Let me know what you think or if you have any other suggestions.
Great tool.
It is great. In addition, it would be amazing if you could use Oxford or Cambridge dictionaries voices than Google TTS.
Thank you.
