Azure AI Speech easier to build up than the others.

Chose Azure AI Speech
Having used both this service and IBM Watson's Text to Speech, I can safely say that IBM's product comes out on top but this is a close call as both products are very good in their own right. That being said, this Azure service lacks some of the extra functionality that can be …

Cloudwords is well suited for getting translations of specific docs from users who are from a different language speaking area. in the past, we've tried to translate on our own, but it is time consuming and not always accurate, so cloudwords save us time and money with translation services

Pros
  • Deployment is easy since its available on the cloud.
  • It is directly as a service and no expertise in AI or ML is needed by the development team.
  • Security of data since Azure promises that it does not store the data of the customers that is used by the service.

Cons
  • The software is not user-friendly- it has a complicated interface and requires a lot of training to set up.
  • The pricing is also costly - so for an individual user, not on a company plan, this is not affordable.

  • When errors arise, it's difficult to determine where the error is from, Cloudowrds or our system.
  • faster timelines for approvals
  • infrequently, the translation quality is not 100 percent correct.

Alternatives Considered
Having used both this service and IBM Watson's Text to Speech, I can safely say that IBM's product comes out on top but this is a close call as both products are very good in their own right. That being said, this Azure service lacks some of the extra functionality that can be found in other products such as broader multi-language support. This product is also more costly than some other alternatives which is a con in my opinion. Azure does, however, come out on top in regards to customer support and general support of the product as it is supported by Microsoft which also means that it integrates well with other parts of the Microsoft suite.
