Text-to-Speech Studies: Research and Market Insights

The text-to-speech module at Anna Matamala's university explores the effectiveness of synthetic voices in various contexts. Research studies compare human voice with TTS, analyzing user reception and acceptance. Market insights show TTS integration in apps and platforms. Additionally, studies focus on vocal delivery of audio descriptions and the accessibility of subtitled TV programs. ISO guidelines provide direction on audio presentation in videos. The project is funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
