Overview
Principle for converting text input into synthesized speech audio using neural TTS models.
Description
Text-to-speech converts written text into natural-sounding audio using neural speech synthesis models. The process involves encoding text into intermediate representations and decoding them into audio waveforms. Key configuration axes include voice selection, output format (WAV, MP3, RAW), language, audio encoding scheme, and sample rate. Streaming mode enables real-time audio generation for interactive applications.
Usage
Apply this principle when you need to generate spoken audio from text for applications such as voice assistants, accessibility tools, content narration, or interactive voice response systems.
Theoretical Basis
Text-to-speech follows a synthesis pipeline:
Pseudo-code Logic:
# Abstract TTS pipeline
audio = synthesize(
text=input_text,
model=tts_model,
voice=voice_preset,
format=output_format,
sample_rate=target_rate,
)
save_to_file(audio, path)
Key considerations:
- Voice Selection: Different voices for different use cases and tones
- Format Selection: WAV for quality, MP3 for compression, RAW for processing pipelines
- Sample Rate: Model-dependent defaults (24kHz for most, 44.1kHz for Cartesia)
- Streaming: Enables low-latency audio delivery chunk by chunk
