VoiceText speech synthesis is the NeoSpeech software component that generates synthesized voice from a given input text, essentially turning text into speech. VoiceText TTS Engine is mainly used to build custom stand-alone TTS applications such as AAC (Augmentative and alternative communication) products,[3][4][5] gaming software, automated loud speaker/paging systems, educational software,[6] and language learning apps.[7] It also can be used simply to output a voice from an input text using a provided desktop TTS program.[8]
Languages are available in several voices and languages, including American and British English, French, Mexican Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
The software is available for
- Desktop: Microsoft Windows, Unix/Linux/Solaris
