Unable to setup route to invoke controller method

Question

I'm unable to setup a route to my controller method. I always get the following error in the browser:

<Error>
<Message>
No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI 'http://localhost:8080/TextToSpeech'.
</Message>
<MessageDetail>
No type was found that matches the controller named 'TextToSpeech'.
</MessageDetail>
</Error>

I try to create a simple web service to convert text to speech using ASP.NET self hosting.

Below the controller code:

using System.Web.Http;

namespace RESTService.Controller
{
  public class TextToSpeechController : ApiController
  {
    [HttpGet, ActionName("Get")]
    [AllowAnonymous]
    public void Get()
    {

    }
  }
}

And the application:

var config = new HttpSelfHostConfiguration("http://localhost:8080");
      config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("TTS", "{controller}", new { action = "Get" });

using (HttpSelfHostServer server = new HttpSelfHostServer(config))
{
  server.OpenAsync().Wait();
  Console.WriteLine("Press Enter to quit.");
  Console.ReadLine();
}

Advice on how I can get this to work would be much appreciated.

Update

I was able to get it to work by specifying the namespace where the controller resides:

var config = new HttpSelfHostConfiguration("http://localhost:8080");
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("TTS", "{controller}/{text}", 
  new[] { "RESTService.Controller" });
