Top Answer:Useful text-to-speech and speech-to-text features.
Top Answer:There is an open source version but once you choose to deploy, they charge a per minute fee for speech to text, and per number of words for text-to-speech. It's quite an expensive product.
Top Answer:An additional feature I'd like to see would be the option for voice recording. It would be helpful for us to have that possibility.
