Analyst Review
Text-to-speech is a technology that enables text to be converted into speech sounds imitative of the human voice. In addition, it is a natural language modeling process that requires changing units of text into units of speech for audio presentation. This is the opposite of speech to text, where a technology takes in spoken words and tries to accurately record them as text. Moreover, it allows users to see text and hear it read aloud simultaneously. There are many apps available, but typically as text appears on the screen, it’s spoken. Some software uses a computer-generated voice and others use a recorded human voice. Very often the user has a choice of gender and accent as well.
The global text-to-speech market is expected to register high growth due to increasing penetration of Internet-enabled handheld smart devices.
