BSL AI Glossary - Text-to-Speech definition

Translation: Text‑to‑speech is a technology that converts written text into spoken audio. It analyses the characters and words in the text, determines how they should be pronounced, and generates synthetic speech using pre‑built voice models. Text‑to‑speech is used in screen readers for the blind, navigation systems such as "turn left" or "turn right", voice assistants, and accessibility tools.
