Text-to-Speech (TTS) is a technology that converts written text into spoken words. It uses computer algorithms to analyze the text and generate audio output, allowing users to listen to written content instead of reading it. TTS is commonly used in applications like screen readers for the visually impaired, language learning tools, and virtual assistants. TTS systems can vary in quality, with some producing more natural-sounding voices than others. They often include features like adjustable speech speed and different voice options. This technology is beneficial for enhancing accessibility and providing an alternative way to consume information.
