About Text-to-Speech

Text-to-speech (TTS) enables the computer to translate text into audio output that sounds like human speech. This process involves the use of a text-to-speech engine and an audio output device.

When a text buffer is passed to the text-to-speech engine, it attempts to translate the text into audio output. If it succeeds in this translation, the engine sends the output to the audio output device.

In VBVoicethe audio output device is the voice card connected to the telephone system. VBVoicepasses the audio output from the engine to the voice card.

VBVoiceis integrated with a number of third-party TTS engines. These engines were carefully selected for their voice quality, performance and language coverage.
