Basic guide

This is the most basic guide to using POST /api/speak to send a speech synthesis request and receive results.

There are two ways to use typecast voice synthesis api.
First, polling is used to make periodic requests to the typecast server to retrieve whether speech synthesis is complete.
Second, webhook is used to receive a message from the typecast server when speech synthesis is complete.

In general, polling is easy to implement, so if you don’t need to receive synthesized speech right away, it’s a good choice.
On the other hand, if you need to receive the synthesized speech as soon as possible, webhooks are better.
