Q: What is Text-To-Speech, or TTS as it's called?
A: Your computer can vocally read to you. Any kind of text. News,
e-books, websites, school books, etc. It's quite simple to use,
so don't be fooled by the complex lingo out there!

-
- Q: What are the ingrediants?
A: You're already set to go, just download number four from the
following list. Except number four, this should all be on your
Windows computer already:
-
- 1. Computer with speakers! Or any old
headphones.
2. The Speech Engine. For windows, this is called "Microsoft
Speech API".
3. Voice.
4. Speech Software. This puts the engine and the voices together.

- Q: For those brave enough, let's get a little advanced. What is there to
know about TTS, and where can I get more natural-sounding voices?
Can I get an AIML ChatBot to talk through my speakers? Does MSN
Live Messenger talk? Can I talk to my computer? Can I vocally
tell a chat bot to control my home lighting and also my car electronics?
A: Yes to all..but it can get messy. As for the details, I'm
currently researching all this...will update later.
