Text-to-Speech Framework
A text-to-speech framework is a software system designed to convert written text into spoken words. These frameworks typically include tools, libraries, and APIs that enable developers to integrate text-to-speech functionality into applications.
Key Features
- Voice Synthesis: Converts text into audible speech.
- Customization: Allows adjustments to voice characteristics (pitch, speed, tone).
- Multi-language Support: Capable of synthesizing speech in various languages.
- Integration: Can be embedded into applications, websites, or devices.
