# Free AI Speech, Image and Audio APIs

Page: https://free-web-services.com/web-services/ai/media/

AI media APIs turn text into speech, images or music, or speech into text, from your own code. Use them for voice-overs, accessibility, illustrations or audio in an app. Free plans usually give a monthly allowance of characters, credits or images; check the licence of what you generate before you publish it.
