  title: Unreal Speech Synthesis Tasks API
  description: 'Unreal Speech is a low-cost, high-scale text-to-speech (TTS) API. It exposes a small REST surface: POST /stream for low-latency HTTP streaming of short text, POST /speech for synchronous MP3 output with word/sentence timestamps, and POST /synthesisTasks (with GET /synthesisTasks) for asynchronous long-form audio. All requests are authenticated with a Bearer API key issued from the dashboard. Note: the base host carries a version segment that has advanced over time (the Python SDK references api.v6, the live reference documents api.v7); paths are stable across versions.'
