What Yandex SpeechKit is

Yandex SpeechKit is a managed speech synthesis service available through a web interface and API. It supports voice cloning, six languages, and exports in LPCM, OggOpus, and MP3. Maximum input is 250 characters. Speech synthesis API v3 plans for Kazakhstan and Russia each list 250 characters and 24 seconds, but neither has a listed price. Brand Voice Self Service and Brand Voice Premium provide custom unique voice synthesis with request-based pricing, also without listed prices. A free plan is available even though the pricing model is described as paid. The service is presented with managed deployment, private networking, encryption, snapshots, persistent storage, and high availability. Listed infrastructure includes two cloud regions, regional replication, seven-day backup retention, and storage options including Network SSD, Network HDD, non-replicated SSD, replicated high-speed SSD, and local disks. The entry lists 2018 as the founding year and Dubai, United Arab Emirates, as headquarters.
