What is Text to Speech Technology?

Text to speech (TTS) technology converts written text into spoken audio using artificial intelligence and neural networks. Modern TTS systems like Microsoft Azure produce incredibly natural-sounding voices that are nearly indistinguishable from human speech.

TTS technology has come a long way from the robotic voices of the 1980s. Today's AI-powered systems analyze text at a deep linguistic level, understanding context, punctuation, and even emotion to produce fluid, expressive speech.
