Text-to-Speech

Technology that converts written text into spoken audio output, using either pre-recorded speech segments or synthesized voices. Text-to-speech is a foundational accessibility technology used by screen readers for blind users, by people with learning disabilities like dyslexia, and by individuals with speech impairments who type what they want to say and have it spoken aloud. Modern TTS systems use neural networks to produce increasingly natural-sounding voices, though quality and pronunciation accuracy vary significantly across platforms.
