Sandeep ,
I prefer Microsoft Azure since it gives ( of course , FREE ) , 5,000,000 characters per month
If each answer is ( say ) 1,000 characters , then this works out to 5,000 ANSWERS per month ( = 160 answers per day )
I have asked Kishan to try out this first

Kishan ,
Earlier this afternoon , I sent you email saying , we cannot afford Playht ( costing Rs 16 for each answer ! )
Then I inquired with BARD and got following answer
I think we should use one of these , based on your evaluation of ease of integrating with our site ( I don’t mind a close SYNTHETIC voice )

In addition to these general-purpose TTS APIs, there are also a number of specialized TTS APIs available for specific use cases. For example, there are TTS APIs for converting
text into audio for ePub books, creating podcasts, and generating audio descriptions for videos.
When choosing a free TTS API, it is important to consider your specific needs. You should think about the following factors:
The amount of text you need to convert to speech: Some APIs have free tiers with limited character limits.
The languages and voices you need: Not all APIs support all languages and voices.
The quality of the speech: Some APIs produce higher-quality speech than others.
The ease of use: Some APIs are easier to use than others.
Once you have considered these factors, you can start testing out different APIs to find the one that best meets your needs.
