# Get raw audio of synthesized speech

> How to get raw audio from text-to-speech synthesis.

You can synthesize speech into an audio buffer for your direct use rather than having it maintained internally by the Vivox SDK. `ITextToSpeech::SpeakToBuffer()` can synthesize the speech signal and return it in the form of an ITTSAudioBuffer class object. This object includes a pointer to the raw audio data and metadata, such as the buffer length and audio format properties.

```plaintext
ITTSAudioBuffer *Buffer;
VivoxCoreError Status = MyLoginSession->TTS().SpeakToBuffer("Some Text", &Buffer);
// If successful, Buffer will contain audio samples and metadata for the synthesized speech.
```
