How Text-to-Speech Works

Text-to-speech engines analyze written text, breaking it down into phonemes. These sound units are then reconstructed into fluid speech. Advanced algorithms consider intonation, rhythm, and emphasis, creating lifelike vocal output. The result? A seamless interaction between callers and automated systems.
