Text-to-speech (TTS) is a feature in the Vivox SDK that is intended to support developers who are pursuing Communications and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA) compliance.

Note

TTS is only available in US English, and is only supported for one logged in user.

TTS provides a voice channel participant with the ability to convert text messages into synthesized speech that is then transmitted into the voice channel. This allows a user to participate in voice chat even when they might not be able to speak or speak clearly. TTS also provides a user with the ability to convert text chat or game-screen text into synthesized speech for local playback. You can play a synthesized phrase locally through the user’s output audio device, transmit it and play it back for remote participants, or simultaneously play it locally and transmit it to remote participants.

Note

Unlike with the Vivox Core SDK, the engine wrappers do not require manual initialization of text-to-speech to start using it. Also, clean up is handled automatically.
