Text to Speech (TTS) option helps to convert text message to high quality voice, and deliver it to land line or cell phones.
This option is very useful for all kinds of alerts, when you want to push out your message quickly and without thinking what kind of receiver(s) (sms capable cell phone or voice-only capable phone) are you dealing with. The whole process is totally transparent to the sender.
All major languages (around 20 of them) are surrently supported, including Mandarin.
All languages (voices) come in male and female form.

TTS feature is available via web based GUI, and also when sending messages via SMS Gateway.
When sending TTS message via the web based GUI, everything looks the same as sending an SMS message - simply choose or enter a phone number, type the message and click 'Send'.
If sending to a cell phone, an SMS will be sent. If sending to a landline phone, a TTS message will be sent automatically.
Text-to-Speech messages are perfect for emergency notification - they work with all kinds of phones, and they are more reliable than SMS.
The delivery time is as fast as SMS, and they can be as long as needed - no limitation to 160 characters like SMS.

GUI based messaging platform (as well as API) allows bulk voice broadcasts delivery to hundreds of your recipients in just few seconds, or send voice alerts, notifications or reminders to smaller groups or single recipients.
Voice messaging never has been easier - record or upload your sound file (wave or mp3 format), select list of the phone numbers, and quickly send or schedule your voice broadcast.
We don't charge for calls that were not answered or didn't go through.
Final delivery of our bulk voice broadcast is achieved via analog phone lines of highest quality, rather than by low-bandwith VOIP method.

What is a 'credit'?

1 credit equals 1 SMS/Voice/TTS message.
For SMS, 1 credit is enough to send up to 160 characters. 161 characters will cost 2 credits. 321 characters will cost 3 credits.
We support Paypal for payments.
