## FAQ
1. What is this API?
> Google Cloud Text-to-Speech enables developers to synthesize natural-sounding speech with 100+ voices, available in multiple languages and variants. It applies DeepMind’s groundbreaking research in WaveNet and Google’s powerful neural networks to deliver the highest fidelity possible. As an easy-to-use API, you can create lifelike interactions with your users, across many applications and devices.
2. Does the API cost money to use?
- Please reference [this link](https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/pricing)
3. What voices can I choose from?
- Please reference [this link](https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech/docs/voices)
4. Can I use Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML)?
