Text-to-Speech (TTS) technologies are systems that convert written text into spoken words, enabling machines to generate human-like speech output. These technologies are widely used in applications such as virtual assistants, screen readers for the visually impaired, automated customer service, and language learning tools. Advances in deep learning and neural networks have significantly improved the naturalness, intelligibility, and expressiveness of TTS systems over recent years.
