Text-to-speech

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.
