Application scenarios of TTS
-
Robot voice
In scenarios such as customer service robots and service robots, it can be combined with speech recognition, natural language processing and other modules to realize high-quality robot voices and make human-computer interaction more smooth and natural. -
Make an audiobook
Import text materials such as electronic textbooks and novels into the speech synthesis engine in the form of text files to generate complete and rereadable audio textbooks or audio novels, which are convenient for users to use at any time. -
Voice broadcast
