Foreword
Anyone heard of text to speech (TTS), the thing that is used by anyone to hear the written word?.
Or that text to speech is the process of converting text to a voice, usually synthetic output?.
When do you want to hear the text or can’t read it?.
Why do we uses TTS in all our posts?, mainly poems?.
Perhaps sometimes we can’t or don’t want to affect the text?.
Text To Speech (TTS) is the process of converting a series of sentences to human speech.
This can be done in a variety of ways, for example, using a cloud service or setting up an expensive service.
We have written a simple tool to provide text to speech using pure web browser-based technology with no service involvement.
Enter some text to hear what comes out!
Our spoken poems are currently generated offline using Balabolka.
Balabolka uses various versions of Microsoft Speech API and allows us to alter a voice rate and pitch.
Spoken TTS can be heard throughout our site generated from our poems.

a madness and scented trails
