Text to Speech

green logo

Text-to-speech allows a computer system to speak any text using either a synthetic or natural voice.

The text can come from documents, a website, text messages or an embedded software system (where text cannot be displayed on a screen). The Language Technologies Portal’s Welsh text-to-speech resources are based on an open source system, namely MaryTTS.

MaryTTS based resources

The portal’s MaryTTS resources enable you to use and create your own Welsh language synthetic voices. Voices are naturally sounding and are very easy to create. The voices sound very natural and the process is extremely easy. Visit the resources on GitHub to learn more.
