I want a text-speech API that works over the web. Google Translate unofficial API doesn't fit because I need to read more than one paragraph and they're limited to 100 chars.
I checked iSpeech, but they require a telephone call to buy credits and since this work maintainers do not speak english and this type of billing/selling is pretty ridiculous, I'm looking forward for another alternative.
Anyone?
EDIT: It must have an pt-BR voice.
I was searching for the exact same thing, I needed pt-BR voice too, and I have just quit using Google TTS because it has got some limitations, bugs (with sentence punctuation endings) and no documentation at all.
I found http://www.voicerss.org/
It works good for me, it's free, simple API and has the Brazilian pt-BR voice we need.
I actually spoke to iSpeech ( http://www.ispeech.org ) the other day, and apparently you can purchase credits directly from the web site (did you click Upgrade?). The reference to having to contact them is regarding higher volume pricing. (I haven't actually upgraded, so I haven't verified this, but that's what they said.)
Alternatives include:
http://ws.neospeech.com
http://acapela-group.com (or http://acapela-box.com)
http://acapela-vaas.com (VaaS means Voice as a Service, and this is a pure web API)
http://www.ivona.com/en/developer/
http://www.voiceforge.com/
https://speechtronic.com
Except for Neospeech, which has a free plan, the others are over my budget... Also, I'm disappointed that Neospeech's API is asynchronous. The API returns a code, whose status you then look up, until you get a url for the result. So it sounds like it's geared towards large amounts of text at a time.

I'm looking for a RESTful Speech to Text service for iOS that will allow me to attach an audio file to a POST request (with an API like AFNetworking), then receive a text response of the translated text. The AT&T API for Speech to Text seems interesting, but there doesn't seem to be any documentation about working with Objective-C.
Are there any such services, free/paid, that would offer the ability to "translate" an audio file into text through a POST request?
How about using the Nexiwave API? I've heard some pretty great stuff about it. http://nexiwave.com/index.php/site-map/119-integrate-voicemail-to-text-in-5-minutes
One option is using Google Chrome API.
Refer to http://mikepultz.com/2011/03/accessing-google-speech-api-chrome-11/
You can recognize using flac(or speex)-encoded audio recording.
I don't know whether it's free or not for commercial product. But you can use it for testing and development purpose.
Try Nexiwave.com. API is here: http://nexiwave.com/index.php/site-map/119-integrate-voicemail-to-text-in-5-minutes
at&t is free/Paid Api and you can make 3 apps for free in at&t you need to post audio and you will get json,Xml in response
https://developer.att.com/apis/speech/docs contain documentation for it.
Also there is another APi http://www.nuance.com/for-individuals/mobile-applications/dragon-dictation/index.htm it's a paid API but as you register you will get API-Key and other key required to make sample application(only for development not for production).
but no one API is accurate as google and siri.
I have made sample application using at&t API,Dragon mobile API and Google.If you have any doubt feel free to ask

(I asked on programmers.stackexchange.com but my question got voted down into the negative, so I'm re-asking here.)
I'd like to use a map API for a private intranet web site I'm developing. The Google Maps API is free as long as the web site that uses it is also free. For private intranet web sites, the Google Maps API costs $10,000 US per year (or more) for a business/enterprise license which makes it too expensive for a small 1-guy shop like myself.
So now I'm looking for other options. Are there any usable HTTP map APIs that are free or lower/reasonable cost?
You might wanna check this and this too because what you think about the rules about Google Map is not entirely true. To answer your question, most other providers carry similar license agreement; plus, the solution is not hard to be found hence the voting down (I suppose, no offense).
Anyhow, try Googling OpenStreetMap, hope this helps you!
Google GeoCharts is not a street-by-street level maps and satelite pictures familiar to Google Maps users, but it worked great for what I needed. You can find it here: https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/geochart
(Actually, the entire Google Charts javascript library is quite amazing!)

I am looking for a MySQL, CSV or else database of all GPS coordinates of cities/towns in Germany. Is there a place where I can download this? I've been searching on almost every POI file websites but I can't find a place where I can just download a file with all GPS coordinates of German towns.
I know there is a site at http://earth-info.nga.mil where this information maybe is available, but the site seems to be down for days already so I am not even sure if it actually there at all.
Any suggestions? Maybe a mirror site or another site?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Open Street Map (OSM) seems to be a useful resource for your needs. If you're working with a Garmin, here's a link for Germany's Garmin maps: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/All_in_one_Garmin_Map#Germany.
Since you asked about a database however, the OSM Database and/or Import Data pages should be helpful.
I searched briefly on stackoverflow for questions related to OSM, but you'll probably have better luck since I wasn't certain what aspects of OSM you might be interested in.
Description of OSM from the OSM Homepage:
OpenStreetMap is a free editable map
of the whole world. It is made by
people like you.
OpenStreetMap allows you to view, edit
and use geographical data in a
collaborative way from anywhere on
Earth.
OpenStreetMap's hosting is kindly
supported by the UCL VR Centre and
bytemark. Other supporters of the
project are listed in the wiki.
Quoting the OSM Wiki:
OpenStreetMap creates and provides
free geographic data such as street
maps to anyone who wants them. The
project was started because most maps
you think of as free actually have
legal or technical restrictions on
their use, holding back people from
using them in creative, productive, or
unexpected ways.

does anyone know if there is a stock market news API out there? Hopefully one that covers the major publishers like Reuters, Bloomberg, NYT, and WSJ?
Have you looked at Xignite? There is a fee for it, but you can pull headlines and stories.
Here's a link to more information about their news feed.
It's a SOAP-based API.
HTH.
please use this api url to get news of us market, change s="" as per you search
http://feeds.finance.yahoo.com/rss/2.0/headline?s=a®ion=US&lang=en-US
Try Google's Finance feeds.
https://www.google.co.uk/finance/company_news?q=LON:VOD&output=rss
Just change the "q" URL argument to the stock you require.
Yahoo Finance provides an easy RSS feed with comma separated stock symbols. I used YQL to create a great web service that I later consume on my app.
There aren’t really much APIs for stocks out there, fortunately, Google provides you a free, yet powerful API to access the stock data that used in Google Finance. (Update once every 5 min, and up to 20 min of delay.)

I'm looking to get my hands on an API (hopefully one that's platform agnostic) that allows me to retrieve real time (or as close to it) equity prices / volume (hopefully).
I'm not a professional trader and can't afford anything really expensive (although I'm willing to pay a fair bit a month for such a service). I'm seeking to monitor about 500 equities (SP500) to start.
Does anybody have any suggestion? I don't want to use something like Google, because I would in effect be stealing a lot of bandwidth and could be blocked for abusing the service.
Google is a relatively shockingly developer friendly company. I have had some interactions with them about volumes of API use. You can hit them quite a bit without getting blacklisted.
One project that I am aware of being developed by Collaborative Software Initiative: FeedHandler: http://csinitiative.com/products/feedhandler/
I am not sure what the cost of the feed would be like. They would be able to track all of the stocks.
