Text to speech web API [closed]

I want a text-speech API that works over the web. Google Translate unofficial API doesn't fit because I need to read more than one paragraph and they're limited to 100 chars.

I checked iSpeech, but they require a telephone call to buy credits and since this work maintainers do not speak english and this type of billing/selling is pretty ridiculous, I'm looking forward for another alternative.

Anyone?

EDIT: It must have an pt-BR voice.

Google today open-sourced the speech engine that powers its Android speech recognition transcription tool Live Transcribe. The company hopes doing so will let any developer deliver captions for long-form conversations. The source code is available now on GitHub.

Can Google Speech API be used offline?

Android does have offline speech recognition capabilities. You can activate this by going to Settings - Language and Input - Voice Input and touch the cog icon next to Enhanced Google Services.

I was searching for the exact same thing, I needed pt-BR voice too, and I have just quit using Google TTS because it has got some limitations, bugs (with sentence punctuation endings) and no documentation at all.

I found http://www.voicerss.org/

It works good for me, it's free, simple API and has the Brazilian pt-BR voice we need.
