Select language and voice for the Text-to-Speech in your project. BotTalk supports four major TTS providers: OpenAI, Amazon Polly, Google Wavenet, IBM Watson and Microsoft Azure.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can click the **Listen** button for a quick voice preview.
{% endhint %}

### Choose a Content Source <a href="#choose-a-content-source" id="choose-a-content-source"></a>

Now that you know which voice will read your texts, you have to deliver these texts to BotTalk to convert them into speech.

There are three options:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="API" %}
You can programmatically push your text content into BotTalk Audio CMS via our API. Once you create your text-to-speech project with API as a content source, your project receives a unique API key. With that key, you have complete control over your articles in BotTalk Audio CMS.

Following our technical API documentation, you can Create, Retrieve, Update, and Delete (CRUD) articles to/from BotTalk.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Parser" %}
The parser will parse your articles automatically. BotTalk Parser requires you to integrate BotTalk Web Player on your website.&#x20;

We discuss [BotTalk Web Player](https://bottalk.io/learn-with-bottalk/how-to-publish-audio-articles-with-native-web-player/) and other audio distribution channels in a separate guide.&#x20;

If your website has a Paywall and you choose BotTalk Parser as the content source, you will need to whitelist BotTalk IP for our parser to get through the paywall. Just [contact us](https://bottalk.io/contact) for further instructions.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Manual" %}
Choose manual if you want to convert text into speech manually by copy-pasting text into your project.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

Hit **Create new project**.
