Vocal synthesis is the process of generating human-like speech using computer algorithms. This technology can create realistic voices that mimic the nuances of natural speech, including tone, pitch, and rhythm. It is commonly used in applications like virtual assistants, audiobooks, and language translation services. One popular method of vocal synthesis is through text-to-speech (TTS) systems, which convert written text into spoken words. Advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence have significantly improved the quality of synthesized voices, making them sound more lifelike and expressive.
