Hello, my name is Mike. Welcome to our language portal! I want to introduce a new text to speech service, which means I can read out anything you like. I and my colleagues speak English, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. Just type a word or a phrase, or copy and paste any text, and I'll say it back for you. You can also translate your text to any of the available languages, and I will read out the translation.
