Text-to-speech synthesis

Text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis is a technology that converts written text into spoken words. It works by analyzing the text, understanding pronunciation and context, and then using digital voice models to generate natural-sounding speech. TTS systems typically involve steps like text processing, linguistic analysis, and voice waveform generation. This allows devices such as smartphones, virtual assistants, and navigation systems to read text aloud, making information accessible and improving user interaction. Advances in TTS have led to more natural and expressive voices, enhancing clarity and the overall listening experience.
