Text-to-Speech Prompt Item

Test-to-Speech (TTS) prompt items are just text. These text are automatically converted to voice using a text-to-speech engine. TTS prompt items are usually dynamic information that cannot be pre-recorded. For example, a caller's name from caller ID.

TTS Engine

The software used to convert text to voice is called a Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine. Voicent Gateway contains a free TTS engine from Microsoft. However, since the Microsoft TTS engine is created a while back, the generated voice is not easy to understand. For production usage, Voicent Natural Text-to-Speech engine is strongly recommended.
