Text-to-Speech

Technology that converts written text into spoken audio output. Text-to-speech is a fundamental component of many assistive technologies, including screen readers, audio description tools, and communication devices for people with speech disabilities. Modern TTS systems use neural networks to produce increasingly natural-sounding speech. While human-narrated content is generally preferred for accessibility, TTS enables scalable and cost-effective alternatives for generating audio descriptions, reading web content, and powering augmentative and alternative communication devices.
