Text-to-Speech (TTS) is an artificial intelligence application that converts written words into human voices. From use with voice assistants to education and content production, TTS has an important place in a wide range of fields and its development in this field is progressing rapidly. In this article, we will examine in detail the definition and working principles of TTS technology, as well as the areas in which it is used.
TTS is a technology that converts text into audio output using natural language processing (NLP) and voice synthesis techniques. TTS systems work in two main stages:
TTS technologies can be developed in different ways and are based on various approaches to voice synthesis:
Rule-based systems transcribe text into audio according to predefined phonetic rules. This method provides grammatical accuracy, although it often has a limited natural sound quality.
This is a technique that voices text using pre-recorded human voice snippets. The snippets are combined to create fluent speech. However, it offers limited intonation and flexibility.
Deep learning-based TTS, one of the most advanced methods in recent years, uses artificial intelligence and neural networks to produce more natural and human-like voices. In particular, models such as WaveNet, Tacotron, and FastSpeech provide high quality voice synthesis.
TTS technology is used in a wide range of industries and helps to improve the user experience. Here are the main uses:
TTS technology underpins voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple Siri. These assistants convert text to voice to answer users' questions and carry out their commands.
TTS makes educational materials and text-based content audible for visually impaired individuals. In education, it allows students to learn by listening to course materials. It is also a powerful tool for language learning.
TTS is used for automated call centers and customer service chatbots. It offers the capacity to respond to customers instantly without the need for human intervention.
From podcast production to audiobooks, TTS has rapidly become popular in media and entertainment. It is also used in the gaming industry for character voicing and content production.
Navigation systems, in-car entertainment systems and driving information are transmitted to the driver by voice using TTS technology. This minimizes distractions while driving.
It facilitates access to information for the visually impaired and individuals with reading difficulties. Any digital content can be presented in audio.
It speeds up processes and reduces costs by reducing the need for manpower in areas such as customer service and information transmission.
TTS can work in different languages and accents, enabling the rapid production of content that appeals to global markets.
TTS technology continues to develop rapidly. Especially with deep learning and Transformer-based models (e.g. GPT, BERT) improving voice synthesis capabilities, it is becoming possible to achieve more realistic and human-like voices. In the future, TTS technology is expected to become even more naturalistic and offer personalized voice solutions. This will allow each individual to create content using their own voice or any voice they want.
Text-to-Speech (TTS) turns text into a human voice, making digital content more accessible and interactive. With the development of TTS technology, these tools will become even more pervasive in our lives and revolutionize many industries.
