Microsoft's Text-To-Speech APIs are the best on the market. Wow, I had no idea they were that good. Is there a way to get at them from a consumer level? For example, there are plenty of e-reader apps that use Google's TTS to read epub books as audiobooks. Anything similar for Microsoft or is it all on the developer side?

You can just try it out here from the browser if you like: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-services/text-to-speech/#features https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-service...

  That's a good demo, but it isn't much use for making audio content from ebooks.

    Transcribing an entire ebook this way is going to be _expensive_.

They have basically been licensing L&H then Nuance until they bought it outright.
