Text-to-Speech
Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology transforms text into spoken output, enabling
machines to communicate verbally. TTS is widely used in virtual assistants,
audiobooks, and accessibility tools. Modern TTS systems use neural
architectures, such as WaveNet and Tacotron, to generate high-quality,
human-like speech. These systems can mimic natural prosody, including
intonation and rhythm. Challenges in TTS include handling complex names,
multiple languages, and generating emotionally expressive speech.
Personalized voices are also an area of active research. TTS enhances
accessibility by making content available to visually impaired users and
providing hands-free interaction in various applications. Future advancements
aim for real-time TTS with dynamic emotional expressions to improve user
experience and engagement.
