What is Voice Synthesis?
It is the technology of voicing written texts with a natural and fluent human voice by a computer.
Overview
It takes text-based data and converts it into sound waves that contain human characteristics such as stress and intonation. Today, thanks to artificial intelligence, these voices have become very close to a real person's speech rather than a robotic tone. It is possible to customize reading speed, emotion and accent.
How it works
AI models are trained on thousands of hours of human voice data. When you enter text, the model uses this data to calculate which letter or word should be spoken at what frequency and creates a digital audio file.
Where it is used
It is used in audiobook applications, screen readers for disabled individuals, and artificial intelligence-based virtual assistants.
Commonly confused with
Can be confused with Voice Cloning; Voice synthesis is a general voice production, while Voice Cloning is imitating the voice of a specific person.
Frequently asked questions
Are voice synthesis and Text-to-Speech the same thing?
