Text-to-Speech
TTSSpeech & Audio
The technology that converts written text into spoken audio, enabling computers to produce natural-sounding voice output. TTS powers screen readers, voice assistants, navigation systems, and increasingly, AI-generated audio content. Modern neural TTS systems can closely mimic human vocal patterns, tone, and rhythm, which also makes the technology a tool for unauthorized voice cloning and synthetic media production.
