Overview

Text-to-speech (TTS) is a technology that converts written text into spoken words. It takes input text and uses natural language processing algorithms to analyse and synthesise the speech, producing an audio output that sounds like a human voice. TTS is often used to provide auditory feedback or accessibility for individuals who are visually impaired or have difficulty reading.
